(1 handed typing here. hope post will make sense as i try to condense things
)
for years, i've had severe neck tic. i knew 1 day it would wreck havoc on my spine 1 day.
tried a lot of things including pressure.
either way. i think it has caught up w/ me...
besides neck pain, i now feel burning pain on my right hand that i think is nerve/spine related.
it is a burning pain. like it's on fire whenever i would jerk the neck (& only when i jerk the neck do i feel it and i am going through a major waxing of it as of late)
then there is the other constant pain where i have various tics with my hand that includes bending them the other way against my face or body or wall. and hitting/punching tics against objects...
as lara has suggested, i think is a x-over with complusive(OC) & tics combined
(hate the co-morbids,eh?
)
as w/ the waxing. i have damaged my knuckles on my index and middle finger. cannot bend my index/middle nor extend them fully. Those pains are constant. 24/7 and has now gotten to the point of keeping me awake even if i take the sleeping pills.
i think i may have developed some arthritis w/ my banging/bending tics of my hand. and have been taking aspirin and back on my glucosamin/msm
hate to cry about it...not really a complainer..
the spine issue bugs me more actually...
i am going to see a doc next week about my spine as my wife and i suspect either spurs and/or pressed spine issues. or may have just ticced the spines heckit outta place...
i am not sure what my outlook is but will accept it as what is and find ways to deal w/ it although my must admit i have been defeating myself the past few days. but i'll come out of it. it is better than losing the ability to walk like when i was 14 yo.
w/severe leg tics. (it lasted about a year)
(interestingly enough. besides my vocal and facial tics. most of my tics below the neck are on my right side...hmmmm...)
i guess i am asking to see if anyone has experienced something similar. i know there isn't much to do about it.
i feel it as a progressive issue. the neck tics are not going to stop. will i am not going to let it stop me.
i've been learning to type faster w/ 1 hand.
love to hear inputs.
ps may take me awhile to respond...
came back to add:
trying to describe my neck tic: it's a violent jerk to my right where my rt shoulder would hit my face and i can feel my spine pop
