What can cause tingling sensation in muscles?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Over the last few months, I am experiencing some tingling kind of sensation in muscles in a specific area below the left breast near the rib. I would like to know what it is and the cause of it. I am having that sensation mostly in the evening.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This tingling sensation can be due to transient nerve compression. This nerve compression can be due to a muscle spasm or due to abnormalities in the thoracic spine. You should improve your posture and avoid sitting for long hours. Avoid bending your back to lift heavy weights. Apply Voltaren gel (Diclofenac) over the area twice daily. Keep hot fomentation twice daily. Do McKenzie back extension exercises twice daily. It will surely help you.If back pain still persists, then get back to me as you will require a prescription for medication.

Thank you.
