Rocking sensation

[smiley1167]

Ptoly-
did you get any answers after your last post in 2009?
Last Aug (09) I had a concussion/neck injury which left me with post concussion symptoms that subsided in Nov.  The neck injury has been an ongoing problem with pain.  With it has been the rocking sensation that is in sync with my heart beat.  Had MRIs of head and neck (shows DDD bulging discs in neck, pinched nerve), Audiology exams (clear), Neurologist exam and Steroid Injs in neck.  The Neurologist said that the dizziness (rocking) was from the ongoing post concussion symptoms---even after I explained that all of the other symptoms subsided except the rocking.  The rocking got worse in Feb when the neck pain got worse.  I have a cardiology appt to make sure my hearts ok with a holter monitor.  I'm starting to think that this may be an ongoing nerve disorder...
Any input from anyone??
thanks!

umm sweetie like i neva had an concussion or any injures at that but i do rock back and forth im not retarted lol or anything im a normal female i rock for numerouse reasons but to summarize all the reasons up it is because im a very hype person and it calms me down its my comfort zone it helps me block everything out. I feel that you have a nerve disorder/ problem. I dont think that the rocking situation is seriouse unless after your rockng other things happen to you every time you rock but sweetie my opnion i feel you okay.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. In your case it could well be due to the neck injury and herniated discs. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required. Please consult a neurologist. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, cervical collars or even surgery. Alternatively you can visit a chiropractor or a physical therapist and learn some exercises which you can do to relieve the compression.
Use a hard bed to sleep. Avoid a pillow. Roll a towel and place it under your neck while sleeping on the back and between head and shoulder when lying on the side. Initially this will be uncomfortable but with time the acupressure will do wonders. Use an analgesic cream or spray. Anti-inflammatory drugs help.
Hope these tips help. If symptoms persist consult an orthopedic specialist and a neurologist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
