I turned my head, lying it to the left side and then I felt a pop with an electric shock sensation that I felt half way down my arms and tops of my thighs.... with a flash of a black out. This is the second time this has happened. I see an ortho doc and have had ct scans, xrays, etc because of a wreck a year ago where I was partially ejected from the back of an ambulance. My scans don t show anything remarkable according to the doctors but I know this isn t normal. Any advice?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Your symptoms look like the features of nerve compression. You may take painkillers and if need be, tablet gabapentin, for this numbness. It is a stronger painkiller for naturopathies. Your doctor will know the doses.Also, an X-ray cervical spine may help in diagnosis of any pathology there. Thus, I would recommend that you see an orthopedic surgeon and get appropriate investigations done including it B12 levels in blood. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
