Hello everyone. I am new to the board and did post an introduction however it was in the wrong area. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced a symptom like the one I am about to describe.

If I tap the back of my head (where my skull transitions to my neck) just to the left I feel a shock into every area that hurts. This includes both arms into the hands, lower parts of the legs and feet, left side of my head and face.

I have (what the doctors consider) a small herniation at c5-6 that causes moderate central stenosis. At first I thought that somehow the herniation was hitting the cord when I would tap my head/neck, however c5-6 is located much lower in the neck. Also when I hit my neck over where c5-6 is it does not hurt in any way. Somehow the spinal cord is being involved here, but I wonder how.

If anyone has experienced something similar I would appreciate their input. Also, I have brought it up to numerous doctors and I get the "you must be crazy" stare from them.
