Can These Electric Shocks Really Be This Painful At Times??

[Louby70]

Hi all,

Was wondering has anyone experienced very painfull electric shock sensation, resulting in maybe setting other things off? Or am I just a odd ball.

The past few days I have really been experiencing some very breathing taking electric shocks down my spine/right side of my back. At times I have to stop what I am doing because they are that intense. My right back muscle has been going into alot more spasms since this, you can see my muscle really sticking out when it spasms & my daughter said when she was putting on cream to help relax the muscle, that I have a light blue bruise on that area, my base of my spine is absolutley hurting me because of my muscles spasms in that area too, which is causing me to feel a cold/numb sensation on the base of my spine & my legs are tingling more. My head feels even more sensative, & have been experiencing motion sickness sensation, it's as if I am traveling in a car with that horrible smell that makes you feel ill, but I'm not, as I am at home.

I have had these electric shocks/zaps on & off for many months but never as sharp as I have been getting them. I have experienced muscle spasms with some very very painful ones especially across my back/chest but my electric shocks seems to be setting them off now. I have suffered head sensative but never with the feeling I am in a car (travel sickness), if that makes sense.

I am a limbolander, has anyone else experienced this.

I get "zapped" often. Luckily it doesn't usually last long.  There is no one place for me, it happens all over. My head, my arms, my legs.  

Undx. Again I'm sorry I don't have an answer, just sympathy.

I haven't had a dx yet and honestly there are days that I think I"m just losing my mind. I had a feminine surgical procedure last Friday and ever since my dizziness, that was mostly gone, is so bad that I can't walk from my bed to the toilet without holding onto furniture. Twice today I have gone out to sit with my family but after half an hour I have ended up really nauseaus and had to lie down. Last night I woke up through the night after being asleep for an hour with what I'll describe as tremors, we have a water bed and I was about to wake my husband because I thought the house was shaking, after my brain started to focus I realised that it was me and it was mainly down the left side of my body, including my face, arm, chest. It then happened another 8-10 through the night. I have had it before and thought it was anything from shaking house to a racing heart.

I have made an appointment with my GP and are hoping to get the urgency of my case changed so that I can see a neurologist in less the 12-18 months.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this. I am feeling really scared at the moment as I can't even walk around my own home due to the dizziness and has anyone had anything similar to what I've described happened last night?

I'm sorry to ask this here but I just don't know where else to turn at the moment and I'm really scared. I was starting to feel as though the symptoms where getting better prior to the surgery.

Hi there. I get them shooting down my legs to my toes at times... and most of the time it's painful...sometimes it's not too bad... I'm now taking Gabapentin and it's helped abit... I don't get them as often and they aren't as painful.. just a pain.

take care

I could not have described it any better when you said like a cattle prod, that's how it feels, as if someone has pressed that against me, I get my shocks mainly on my back, I just did not think they could hurt like they have.

Mayperl- I experience the same when I am trying to do my hair, my head & face tingles along with my arms, I have noticed I cannot hold my arms mainly right arm up for long now as they become very heavy & I seem to loose the strength very quickly.

i get stabbing pains in my heels that are very painful. and I'm not walking around! I work from home, I sit in a comfortable chair or work from my bed yet, I ache all over and get stabbing pains.  Like Guitar_grrrl, I too get the electric buzz on my entire left side of my body when bending my neck forward.  Also, if I do my hair and put on pake-up, my skull tingles, and my arms tingle for a bit afterwards.

The encourage exercise and working you muscles... but my legs and feet get numb if i walk on the treadmill for more than 25 mins.  and if i ache this much doing nothing, I fear what it would be like after working the muscles.

I get the cattle prod to my R buttock when coming out of Setubandha in Yoga.  Other than that, I get consistent, reproducible electric buzz when flexing my neck forward.

I get what I call the electric cattle prod to the bottom of my right foot. Sometimes I cry out. It happens at least once a day.
