My back as an injury in the thoracic area, not sure what it is
|
Have you had a MRI or x-ray of your Thoracic or cervical spine? If not it might be worth getting one. Lumbar spine problems effect the person from the Lumbar down and would not be responsible for symptoms felt above the Lumbar.

However my tingling is what worries me. It goes away or switches areas when I move. Sometimes it's in my arms, legs, trunk.
|
This makes me wonder about a spine problem.
Multiple Sclerosis is not positional. A symptom like tingling, in Multiple Sclerosis, will not go away or change places it's affecting by moving.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System(CNS) which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The damage the disease does can show up in any or all areas of the CNS.
There are numerous conditions, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, some medication side effects and mental health issues that cause the same type of symptoms as those seen in Multiple Sclerosis. A diagnosis of MS is one of exclusion, all other causes for a person's symptoms must be ruled out.
