Cricket is exactly right, and more information is needed. It is not uncommon for an acoholic to develop neuropathy (nerve damage).

Hi Oscar126,
You posted this in the alcoholism community, so I gather that you're thinking that the shooting pain has to do with your alcohol consumption. Active alcoholism can cause a huge range of physical problems, and I have personally experienced shooting pains during my drinking days. It could also be totally unrelated. Please describe your situation and the pain a little more so that we can try to point you in the right direction for alleviating the condition.
Best to you.
