    Hi @Saxophone

    Is the tingling like pins and needles? I had neck OA in the C6/7 and chronic pins and needles going from my neck, across my shoulder and down my arm for years. I eventually got referred to a lovely surgeon who operated on my C6/7 - it was originally going to be an ACDF surgery but on finding my vertebral artery was in the wrong place they went in through the back of my neck. No problems since.

    The pins and needles were like having a plastic bag of marbles under my skin which were having the air squeezed out until the bag popped. Awful sensation and glad I got it fixed eventually!

    Trish
