Hey all, I broke C2 and C3 10 weeks ago in a rock climbing accident. As a result I have Central Cord Syndrome, C3 ASIA D. I have a mild case, and my remaining symptoms are some numbness in my hands, and arm and shoulder weakness.
I was cleared on Tuesday to remove the c collar and I have started doing some range-of-motion exercises for my neck. The neurosurgeon said that I might experience some tingling or other sensations when moving my neck for the first time in 10 weeks and that I shouldn't be concerned unless something changes dramatically.
I have noticed that moving my neck side to side increases the numbness in my hands for a few hours. Also, moving my chin down to my chest causes a buzzing vibration sensation through my back and legs.
Did anyone else with incomplete injuries notice things like this when moving their neck for the first time? I'm more curious than worried, but just wondering if it is common and if anyone has any insights into why it happens?
