Tourette's Syndrome And Herniated Vertebrae
I have Tourette's Syndrome with head/neck jerking, noises, cursing, etc. I've had this condition since I was a small child and it has only gotten worse as I have gotten older (I'm 45 now - and male).
I was also in an automobile accident 3 years ago in which my head slammed very hard into the windshield. This, in addition to my head/neck jerks lead me to have an MRI (in fact I've had several). The findings were that I had compressed, "leaking" and herniated vertebrae.
My symptoms throughout all of the head/neck jerking have only gotten worse as well. From time to time I will jerk my head with such force that I can feel an electric "jolt" go down my spine and my head will feel really foggy/dazed for days afterwards along with tons of anxiety (I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks too).
About a week ago, I had several such head/neck jerks throughout the day as well as this tic I have where I "scissor" my lower jaw back and forth with quite a bit of force while making noises and cursing. As a result of all this, I'm guessing a nerve (or nerves) got pinched somewhere and for several days I experienced tremors and muscle twitches in my lower jaw and lip. (very scary!). Also, ever since that day, my brain/mind feels spacey, dazed, soupy, foggy, syrupy, zombie-ish, lots of anxiety, nervousness, fatigue, some light-headedness, insomnia/early wakening, etc. Finally, it felt for at least 3-4 days like I was breathing underwater and at one point I had a hot, shooting sensation travel down the back of my left leg.
