Tingling Sensations
Myelopathy can disrupt sensory signals, causing people to experience abnormal sensations. Tingling sensations, sometimes referred to as pins and needles, can be a symptom of myelopathy. These atypical feelings may be felt almost anywhere around the body.
Known medically as paraesthesia, tingling sensations can come and go and vary in intensity. Some people may experience feelings of prickling, burning, or pulses described as jolts or electric shocks. The sensations are typically painless, though they can be uncomfortable and irritating.
