Sounds like a trapped nerve with referred pain but not too sure, you need to see your Dr on that one but trapped nerves can do this..good luck... I used to suffer from my spine and the discs at the top of the neck and it did the same.

I call mine body shocks! I don't get it as badly as you, but especially when I am lying down, I get these great big 'jerks' making my legs jump or sometimes my arm just gets thrown out! Weird!! I take Pregabalin and I think that's why I don't get it so badly. Check with your G{P or Specialist about it though. I don't know what meds you are on. It will pass. :)

Hi, I used to get lots of 'electric shock' pains especially across my chest. After a few weeks on Methotrexate they became fewer and now I hardly ever get them. I was told that it is neuropathic pain caused by my pain and nerce senses being all out of whack.

Make an appt. to see a neurologist. They take care of nerve pain and with testing and such, they should be able to figure out if you have a compressed nerve or something else that might be causing the body shocks. Good Luck!
