Fasciculations from Cord Compression??
 
Has anyone had experience with widespread fasciculations from a cervical cord compression?

This is my newest symptom (started in the last 2-3 weeks), and is driving me crazy! It has been becoming more and more constant. They are everywhere from about shoulders down. They even wake me up at night. They are so distracting and annoying.

As a side note, I do take magnesium (glycinate), d3, b12, omega 3, as well as other supplements. So, I don't think they are due to some sort of deficiency there.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced something similar due to cord compression.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I began having these muscle twitches due to cord compression and even after surgery to remove the compression, I still have them though much less frequently. I find that taking Lyrica seems to also help keep them minimized, but not gone entirely.

Thanks for the reply. I think that once the spinal cord has been irritated/ injured all sorts of symptoms are possible.
