Hi guys, posted previoulsy about some
neck/back problems culminating in an
electric shock type sensation and tingling
down arms/legs & fingers/toes whenever
I tilted my head forward. This seemed to
come on 2-3 months after I took a fall,
knocking myself unconscious. I have had
an mri scan on my neck that shows no
damage to bones/discs so problem remains a
mystery. It was suggested by my
consultant that it may be something called
l'hermittes sign, and that as there is no
damage shown in my neck there is no
treatment for it. L'hermittes is also a
marker of multiple sclerosis but this has
been ruled out by consultant. He has
simply told me to wait 4-8 weeks to see if
symptons subside/dissappear. Not sure
what to do really - do not feel like
anything has been achieved/resolved nad
still very much in the dark.
Do you think this is good advice?
Is there anything alse I could do?
Anybody heard of, have any information on
or suffered from l'hermittes sign?
