Anybody get a sensation like cold water running down bpi arm? Btw 4 mths post spinal reimplantation at queens london. C5,6,7,8,T1 avulsion aug 2011

i was always "drying" my arm for several months. now i just ignore it unless i know it is really wet. feels like water running up my arm when it is pointed down. now that is a really weird sensation. my arm also feels like it flash freezes from shoulder to fingertips when i touch something that is not necessarily cold, but just a bit cool. nothing surprises me when it comes to strange sensations.

My experience has been that my elbo will feel wet. I don't know if its more mental than nerves, but when I put my elbo on the table I occasionally feel like I put it in a puddle of cold water. 100% of the time there has been no water and after feeling it with my other hand it is not wet.. I asked the specialist at Harborview and they didn't know what I was talking about and, not suprisingly, neither did my local MD or physical therapist. I still feel it and I'm 2 1/2 years out from my accident.

is your specialist a neurosurgeon or a BPI SPECIALIST?
