Intermittent Crawling and Burning Sensation in a small area

I too have had an itchy section on my left shoulder blade toward the spine. For about 4 years now. Doctors can't see anything and basically ignore my concerns.
Around 4 months back I had a patch about 2 inches round appear on top of my left shoulder which was gone the next day. It felt like insects biting. A few weeks later, I began to get a rash which over 2 weeks, covered my upper body, back & chest. This rash became extremely itchy and lasted 2 months. Nothing gave relief. Now, I have an occasional rash which is mildly itchy and comes and goes within an hour sometimes. I also have a crawling sensation on many occasions on my lower stomach area.
I have been diagnosed as having CMV. Google that.
Not sure if the CMV is the only problem though. Let's keep searching. Ken. Australia.

FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS I HAVE ALSO HAD THE STRANGEST BURNING SENSATION ON MY BACK. IT BURNS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GOES AWAY. IT IS QUITE ANNOYING. I READ THE OTHER MESSAGES AND TWO OR THREE LADIES WROTE IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT CAN IT BE.

I have recently encountered the exact same problem. I feel a burning sensation under the skin in a 1-2" region over my back left shoulder blade (between the blade and my spine). There are no noticable signs on the surface. It does not feel like a bug or anything moving, but more like a small sunburn. Sounds very similar to everyone else's problem. Any new ideas?

I too have this exact problem but it is on the left calf high and near the knee on the outside of the calf. I also have multiple sclerosis and have considered this to be a part of an exacerbation which I am currently experiencing. I do however attribute the exacerbation to stress which I am told can also cause the feeling that I am having. It almost feels like hot water is being put under the skin and it cools almost instantly. Mine started out mild but is becoming increasingly irritating.

I have almost the exact same symptoms, but mine are on my face. Along my jaw line on both sides and my cheeks will itch (sometimes almost unbearably) and will alternately have a burning sensation. For the first couple of months there was no rash or skin irritation showing, but I think I irritated the skin for long enough that now I have some minimal redness that shows on my cheeks. Occasionally the burning sensation goes so hot that it translates into an ultra cold sensation, as if I have ice cubes on my cheeks. I've been to my MD twice and a Dermo once, neither of them had any clue. I've taken prednisone, hydroxazine, zyrtex, and now a steroid cream that I am putting on my face. I get no relief. If anyone finds anything out, please please post.

I had this symptom (area of burning/tingling on back) when I was a teen, and my doctor suggested that it came from damage to nerve endings in that spot from a chicken pox lesion (I had a mild case of chicken pox as a child). I was told it was nothing to worry about.

Cheers!

I am also having a tingling almost "bug" like feeling on my back near my left shoulder blade. It seems to have started around the same time I started weight lifting. I was thinking it was connected to sore muscles? It's just a very annoying feeling! I guess no one has come up with an answer to this?

I've got the same thing. Small area back left shoulder blade. Irritating and occasional sharp pain but mostly bearable. No idea what it is or what is causing it. Strange that most everyone has this in the same spot.

I'm in the same boat as the Guest from 01/23/09, I get it intermittently in between weights etc, but it's become more regular and irritating like a lot of people that have searched the 'Net for answers.

I've bookmarked this thread and will come back if I find anything, it's getting constantly irritating enough for someone like me to start worrying.

Like a bee sting feeling ....or a match held to a fine point in my right side just under shoulder blade. I thought it was a mole gone bad (but had no mole there). I got people to look at it and there is no kind of rash or anything. I did much research. I have found that it is most likely due to high acidity in my body. Buy some pee strips and test your ph/alkaline levels. Chances are you are very acidic. Add mucho greens to your life and stay away from red meats etc (in moderation of course). Cut out coffee. Drink water with lemon/lime wedges in it...never just water as it is acidic. This was advice from a naturopath I just got. I am going for live blood analysis tomorrow and will update. Most of the time it burns...but than sometimes it really feels like muscle strain so it's confusing. Hard to imagine a muscle with such a pinpointed heat to it. Anyhow will let u all know
