Head tingles when I move

[Ernie]

I am having a weird sensation that I was wondering if anyone has delt with after surgery.  I have this tingling/vibrating feeling along the surgery side of my head when I turn my head to the left or look up.  It also effects me when I ride in a car or walk.  I am two months post op so I don't know if it is just a nerve that is still settling down and it is just going to take some more time or if I need to get into a neurologist or some other doc about it.  I live just north of Sacramento does anyone know of good docs in this area?  Please help.

Hi, Earnie ~

That tingling sensation may be, as you suspect, a nerve 'settling down' or just plain old healing.  I would suggest mentioning it to your doctor.  I live on the east coast (Connecticut) so cannot help with information on doctors located in San Diego, California.  However, we do have a forum that covers doctors and you might want to post your question there.  http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?board=6.0.

 I had the same feeling for the first couple of months after surgery. I thought it felt more like a low voltage electricity (around my entire brain) when I moved my head from side to side. I don't recall having that feeling recently( I am 4 months post op), but I have had more of a 'pins and needles' feeling a couple of times at the surgical area, but it didn't last long. Hopefully over time the sensations will also diminish for you.

Ernie -

I didn't have any tingling or vibrations, just numbness - for a very long time.

You ask about a doctor.  Can't you go back to the doctor who did your surgery?  That's where I'd start if possible - since he obviously knows your surgical history.
