L'hermittes Sign
Posted: 09-20-05 03:54am

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?

Here is a link describing condition.
