[|Human|] I have tingling in the back of my head. Tingling feels more like a mild electrical shock that comes in pulses. It started directly behind my left ear and has travelled to back, Ctr of head. When pain comes it enough to make me whine and grab my attention. Earlier this week I also had a dumbness in my left arm, milder shocking feelings. Elbow feels like arthritis pain, have been using OCmed, i.e. Icy Hot, topical. Any ideas on remedy for head spasms /
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms (tingling in the back of the head and headaches) could be related to occipital neuralgia. While the tingling and numbness in your arm, could be related to a pinched nerve or articular nerve pain related to a bulging cervical disc. You should know that even the occipital neuralgia can be triggered by chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical check up and performing a cervical spine X-ray study. A cervical spine CT scan or MRI may be needed. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
