Lhermitte's sign?
This is a shot in the dark, but...
Over the past few weeks I've been getting these weird "electric" sensations near the base of my spine, thought it was a pinched nerve, Googling aroundit sounds like Lhermitte's sign:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhermitte's_sign
In reading about it, it can be a delayed onset result of neck trauma (I had a radical neck dissection in December and then recurrent neck/cellulitis infections throughout March-May); and can also occur following head and neck radiotherapy (30 treatements ending mid-March).
There are other possible causes too, including MS.
Wondered if anyone had any experience with this.

I had this from about 3 months post radiation...
For about 3 months... If I looked quickly down it would "buzz" me. Super weird the first time it happened. Rad Onc told me the same thing. I'm about 18 months post radiation now...never happens anymore.
