Alex,

Matty the Damned doesn't know much but he does know about pain.

Oh lord, how he knows about pain.  :-\

I also know that pain can be managed very effectively and that you don't have to put up with it. I understand that you've dealt with this for a while and that cause isn't exactly clear. I would suggest that you speak to your doctor about a pain management plan.

Fondly,

MtD

I would bring it to the doctors attention. One of the questions, that my doctor ask me, is if I have any "electrical type shock feeling" in the arms or legs.

Keep a journal, and try to log down, when this occurs... during the day or night, and the intensity.
