So I'd like to describe what happened I'm 45 and five years ago I started to notice very light tingling in my fingers and toes. However if I focussed on it could be felt everywhere. Would come and go some days would be very light pain. Don't remember when but it's all the time on the tingling. Never stops. Had MRI and various neurological tests. Doctor said everything checked out could not find a reason for what o felt.

Fast forward five years. Have had arm pain along with the tingling. Last month my upper back started hurting. Feels more burning below my shoulders. Doctor thinks it's muscle pain. But I'm not sure. This new issue also comes and goes. Some days doesn't bother me at all. I don't eat or do anything different when it's good or bad. Any ideas?

Hello @rubicon, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @amandjro and other members. You mentioned the tingling all over never stops and the doctors could not find a reason. Did the doctors mention paresthesia? There is another discussion that mentions tingling and other symptoms for paresthesia that you might find helpful.

- Weakness, tingling, hand coordination, paresthesia: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/weakness-tingling-hand-coordination-paresthesia/

Do you recall having any kind of trauma or accident prior to when your symptoms started that could be a cause?

The same thing happens to all of us. We got better medical help 50 years age.
