i have had tingling in my upper back for about 4 weeks now in the same spot, my physio said not to worry about ms its just tight muscles but who knows

Normal.

The back is fairly low in touch receptors compared to other parts of the body.

It's normal not to feel much in certain areas. I just tried drawing a line on my back, and I cant actually feel it.

what about tingling ? on and off same.place for weeks ?

[ElectricAlice]

Yeah I get this too :(

how long for ? my upper back feels like it has tape on it and tingles on and off

For most of the day I get it across my back. Th more walking around I do the worse it gets. So that makes me think it's muscle related... I don't know though. It's freaking me out still!

This is reassuring. What do you think causes the numb patches to be worse? Do you think muscle tension could cause it?

I know what you mean because we are tingling in a wide area right across the back not just one location. I honestly don't know what it is but my physio says don't worry it's just tightness
