Suggest Treatment For Clonus Disease

I was diagnosed with clonus 2 yrs ago. I had a disc in my neck that was bulging into my spinal cord. I had a discectomy. The clonus has been getting worse in thelast 9 months or so and I have several electrical sensations a day ( 10-20). I am wondering if I should be concerned?

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

I think you should be concerned, because like clonus which is a spinal cord compression sign, electrical sensation as well is a sign of nerve root compression.

i suggest you an expert neurological consult and EMG nerve conduction study to see if there is a damaged nerve and furtherly the appropriate treatment.

Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again
