Dr. Lali Sekhon agreed with
Dr. Richard Zimon's answer:

Can a C6 hemangioma in the neck cause tremors, tingling, and burning in the neck, arms, hands, and feet or is this probably not the cause, just something common they pick up in an MRI? In brief: It is an

UNCOMMON but usually a harmless finding! It CERTAINLY will NOT cause symptoms in your legs! You are obviously being evaluated for the symptoms you have so stick with the Medical Professional who ordered the MRI!!!! Good Luck Hope this helps! Dr Z ...See more

Dr. Lali Sekhon answered:

For the past week my head/neck has been randomly twitching. Also slight pain in back right side of head. Any ideas for the cause of this? In brief: Not sure

twitching can be benign esp as its only been there a short time.

The muscles on back of head can cause pain via spasm. Basically if it persists see your GP who may get you a neurologist.

TWITCHING

Dr. Lali Sekhon answered:

Been having tremors where my finger will shake, or my arm, my leg. Also fatigue, balance issues, not dizzy, fell to the left, in church into old lady! In brief: See your GP

Talk to your GP. You need BP check, maybe MR brain and spine.
