BMW, My experience tells me, that lumber spine imbalance and other lumber issues can cause the symptoms that you are experiencing, so please don’t worry. I last lost complete motive power and feeling in my right arm, hand and fingers 6 months ago, the 10th time, and once again, my Osteopath brought these senses back to me, by re-balancing my whole body and opening up my ‘C’ & ‘T’ spine regions and sternum, it took 2 months, but it worked again!
That's my experience and belief, and i'm sticking to it!!
Glen, As BMW simply asked, probably out of the fear and concern that all us chronic back pain suffers face, for anyone with ‘experience’ or ‘information’ about the twitching fingers, to offer an opinion, I would assert, that after nearly 7 years of the same symptoms and finding cures, I am well placed to make what 'you call' assumptions, without your permission or approval.
You have offered Bmw ‘many and varied’ possibilities, all I am sure valid. But what us ‘poor sufferers’ want, is 'not' to learn how many medical permeations there are, but to find ‘answers’ to worrying symptoms that Medics seldom seem to offer.
I think my http://www.assh.org/Public/HandCondi.../Numbness.aspx link served to clarify the facts.
GP’s and none spinal Medics that I (and I’m sure other Members) have experienced over the last 7 years or so, have proved to be largely ignorant about detailed spinal conditions and available safe and non and minimally invasive treatments, I would say, to the point of negligence! Over this period I have also seen these Medics clueless about these issues and other Spinal Medics who have told ‘bear faced lies’ about out dated treatments, like ‘fusion’ being 98% successful. Unbelievable! But true!!
So I don’t think Bmw needs to see a GP, he needs to see one of the many exellent therapists, like the ones to be found on this excellent HP forum.
Glen, What is an OP? Are you referring to a human being with chronic back pain symptoms?
BMW, I hope this has helped, if you need more personal info, don’t hesitate to PM me at anytime!
Best wishes
