Hi

Thanks for the post!
It is very common to feel electrical sensations and they are quite harmless. However if you feel them when your hand hits something it is mainly due to hitting the ulnar nerve. While urinating it could be due to electrical current in water (urine). Some kinds of clothes like silk and wool, rich in static electricity transfer this to the body, which you feel as an impulse. I do not think it is due to any medical problem.

Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
