If the cause is lhermittes the sensations will not last more than seconds.

You can have abnormal sensations that last longer which would not be connected to lhermittes.

The proper terminology for abnormal symptoms is Paresthesia. There can be many different reasons for someone to experience Paresthesia.

Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is one of those causes.

I don't know Climb again, there could be quite a few possibilities for the symptoms you are experiencing. It might be related to your injury or it might not be. I would certainly start with blood work to rule out vitamin/mineral deficiencies and some other possible causes, if that hasn't already been done.

As far as Multiple Sclerosis. MS can cause the symptoms you are experiencing. However, there is no symptom(s) which are unique to Multiple Sclerosis as there are numerous other conditions, diseases, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, some medications and mental health issues which can cause the same symptoms as seen in Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System(CNS) which includes the Brain, Spinal Cord and Optic Nerves. Damage done by the disease can be found on MRI of the Brain and/or spinal cord.

There is a diagnostic criteria for MS, The McDonald Criteria:
