ELECTRIC SHOCK WHEN YOU BEND YOUR NECK? ⚡ DON’T IGNORE THIS SENSATION. ગરદન આગળ વાળતાં જો વીજળીના ઝટકા જેવી લાગણી ગરદનથી પીઠ અથવા હાથ-પગ સુધી દોડે, તો તેને સામાન્ય neck pain ન માનવું. This sensation is sometimes called Lhermitte’s sign. It can occur when the cervical spinal cord or its pathways are irritated or compressed. Possible causes: • Cervical spinal cord compression • Cervical spondylosis • Disc-related problems • Spinal cord inflammation • Vitamin B12 deficiency • Multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions ⚠️ Seek medical evaluation if you also have: • Numbness or tingling • Weakness in hands or legs • Difficulty walking or balance problems • Clumsy hands • Persistent neck pain or stiffness 🔍 What can help? A neurological examination is the first step. Depending on the findings, blood tests or MRI of the cervical spine may be recommended. 👉 Not every electric-shock sensation means serious disease, but recurrent symptoms deserve proper evaluation. 🧠 Key Takeaway An electric-shock sensation triggered by neck movement is a neurological symptom, not just a neck ache. Don’t ignore it. गर्दन झुकाने पर बिजली के झटके जैसा महसूस होना सामान्य नहीं है। खासकर अगर साथ में कमजोरी, सुन्नपन या चलने में परेशानी हो, तो जांच जरूरी है। 📍 Dr. Kushal Shah Brain & Spine Surgeon LIOHNS – Lifecare Institute of Head & Neck Sciences, Ahmedabad 📞 Consultation & Emergency Care Available 24×7 #NeckPain #SpinalCord #Neurology #SpineHealth #NeurosurgeonAhmedabad #LIOHNS 3 days ago
