See your doctor: Ordinarily I'm in calm-'em-down mode here on HealthTap, trying hard to rein in the Worried Well; but you need to see your doctor, sooner rather than later. What you're describing is suggestive of Lhermitte's phenomenon, which raises the possibility of a "nontrivial" abnormality in your neck. (Do NOT go to a chiropractor; that would be worse than doing nothing. There is no escaping this truth.)
