Electrical shock in the body

[zapzap888]

I have been experiencing random shocks at my lower left leg for several years.  It always happens at the same spot, about half inch deep from the front of the lower leg and five inches from my left ankle.  When it hits, it felt like that the nerve was poked by a needle.  It happens so fast that I had a hard time figuring out exactly what happened.  I don't think it causes any muscle twitching.  It is totally unpredictable as when it might happen.  When it starts, it usually zaps me for a few days, maybe less than 20 times a day, then just went away for a couple of months.  I have seen a doctor who was specialized in nerve conductivity.  The doctor checked and told me that there is nothing wrong with my nerves in the lower leg.  I should add that I am a fit female.  I commute to work on bike regularly and also do a lot of hiking.  I only experienced such shock while biking once.  Most of the time, it happens when I am not really moving.

I have seen quite a few postings on the similar subject and felt comforted by the fact that I am not alone.  No one near me have ever heard or experienced this.  Based on the postings I read, it seems that this kind of sensation occurs throughout the body (different for different people), some propagate while others don't.  Causes for these might be very different.  I think it might be helpful to do a survey so that we can get a sense of the problem.  I hope you will all share your experience with the group.  I came up with a few questions to get things start.  If someone can improve this please feel free to add or change.

I seriously don't think you are going to get answers from an MS community forum on such vague and extensive questions.  Good luck with your doctors.

I  guess anyone since some of us don't have a clue what the causes are.  in my case, a repeat, localized shock seems to suggest some kind of problem with a specific nerve, but the doctor found no issues with the nerve function.  I thought a pattern might emerge when we pool together the data, it may will give me a talking point if i decided to address this issue with another doctor, or just help me to calm down and learn to live with it (it is really hard to ignore it though).  i like to delete the earlier survey and maybe restart another one.  Does anyone know how to do that here?  My experience sounds similar to a couple of people's experience, except it happens in different areas and i think some of them mentioned being scheduled for doctors appointment, i am curious wether any diagnosis has been made.

Thanks

That's a lot of questions. Who are you asking?? Ms patients or everyone. And some are kind of vague.. another question I have is why?? Why catalogue vague questions. What are you looking for??

Just curious

[SarahL2491]

are you asking these questions of MS patients or just anyone in general?

[SarahL2491]

just ask them to check if yes and ignore if no

This  is not going to work since I thought one would choose yes or no for each question.  How can I modify the questions?
