Shooting pain and pain relief

Anyone have shooting pain?  Not the trigeminal neuralgia type or the kind of pain felt when you bend your head.

I mean pain that can be in a joint or muscle that is shooting'stabbing.  It lasts for a couple of seconds and is gone.  


Some of the pain I have had has been helped by Vicoden.  I was told that Vicoden will not help MS.

I never knew i have artiritis until i move to a place cold and less sunny.  The doctor gave me injection, plus gabapentin, and later tramadol. They helped but when i was ready to get off from taking them it was difficult. I felt i am slave of these medications. They gave me really bad withdrawal symptoms. I keep praying and also asking for forgiveness for all of my sins to the God of Israel in Christ. The Lord God heard me, and healed me. But He also revealed to me that there are some food like eggs, meat fat, and gluten can cause the infamation to get worse. It is important to research food that can make the inflamation worse. Also, when there are overwhelming yeasts in your body, pain will get worse too. I took deflucan and the pain slowly went away. But these yeasts comes back and pain comes back if i continue eating these food that make the inflamation worse. If you all want to get healed from  pain, all you need is to change your diet, find exercise for artiritis, muscular massage, and above you all need to remember our Creator who loves His people. But often times people forget Him and His commandments until we go through hard trials. Religion is  not the way to communicate with our God, but a good relationship as husband and wife who are committed to love each other for life. Or a servant who obeys His Master commandments. Obedience to God is what will heal this world from all sufferings.May the Lord God in Christ shower you with forgiveness and give a second to live a new life in obedience so that peace and joy will rest upon you.

I get the pain in my arms, legs, hands, and on the right side of my backside.

When I was on 2100 mgs of Gabapentin all of that pain went away but I felt drugged.

Now that I am back down to 900 mgs I am awake but pain it zipping through different areas of my body now.

Hi there,
I get shooting type pains all the time, not much fun, they only last seconds, like bolts, apparently it is from my messages getting scrambled on the way down the spinal cord.  Very common with Transverse Myelitis, so I imagine with people with spinal cord lesions in MS it would do the same.

It is very difficult to treat, I found nothing really helped that but my neuro gave me Gabapentin to try to help.

Best wishes today? for your new neuro appointment, I will be thinking of you, I truly hope you have a nice neuro that can help you.

Thinking of you,
Udkas.

where do you get the pain?  Legs, arms, hands, I don't get those type of pains?  But I take Celebrex for Os Arthritis... and that probably stops alot of my pains.

take care
