Sounds like an inflamed nerve in your upper back... A branch of the long thoracic nerve located is at the upper (& inner) edge of your shoulder blade (scapula). Have someone press in that area and see if it reproduces the symptoms. Id so, a lidocaine/steroid injection can solve the problem... An orthopedic doctor or neurologist can treat this (or a really good Family Practice doc)...

This sounds as though you may have a problem with the nerves that pass between the vertebrae in your neck over time the space that these nerves pass through can narrow and put pressure on the nerve, leading to tingling numbness and pain.
