About 3 weeks ago I noticed a spot on my back that felt like there was a piece of hair tickling it. My hair isn't that long.. so I put my hand back there to try to find it only to realize that there was no hair. This happened while I was standing over the stove. The next day at the same exact time, it happened again.. while I was cooking dinner. It's been happening regularly now but it has turned into a tingling sensation that has overcome an area the length of a banana. It is in my mid-back region right next to my spine. It started on the left side but it seems to be spreading over top my spinal cord and going to the right. I notice it most if I am sitting in a chair or doing the dishes. The sensation has changed from a tiny tickle now to full blown tingling and the feeling that there is a cold pack on my back. I'm only 28. I do have 3 kiRAB and had an epidural with all three that only worked on one side. My dad has a degenerative disc disease and I am already plagued by bad posture but its mainly from my inward gait (pigeon-toed). I'm at a loss as to what it could be but with three small children I have a hard time getting to a doctor without them to get an xray. Any thoughts?
 
Glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this. I have noticed it sitting at the computer....not all the time. It is a feeling of a cold sensation on the right side close to the spine in the upper part of my back. It does not hurt and it always stays in that area. I am assuming it has to be something to do with nerves being pinched or something to do with my back. I am 66 years old and would like to know what this is for sure.
 
Most likely what you are both describing is some minor irritation or mild pinching of a nerve in or near your spine.

As long as it's mild, not much you can do other than ice, NSAIRAB, physical therapy, injections, etc. Probably will never go away but can be alleviated with these methoRAB.

If it become extremely painful and debilitabing, then you would want to explore surgical options.

Wouldn't hurt to talk to your doctor sometime about it though.
