pain that feels like electrical shocks
just wondering if anyone else experiences pain that feels like an electrical shock. only way i can describe it is that it feels like the shock we got as kids when we touched the electric fences on the farm. have had it happen a few times in the last few days (just in one arm).

how nice of you to say that. i, like many others, have asked god why? why am i the one who has this painful, incurable illness? why am i the one with major depressive disorder? why am i the one that was sexually assaulted so many times? why am i the one who has had to take care of my sister’s children, help them pay for their educations, and support them as they navigate the waters of this crazy world we live in? why me? i made a conscious decision a few years ago, when my lifelong emotional scares got out of control, that i would make one of the answers to those questions be “to help others navigate through this thing called life”. if i can help just one person feel less alone, or like someone cares, or like there is hope after all i will have succeed at life. if i can help just one person fight back instead of giving in my life has a purpose. as a result, this normally very private person has gradually learned to be very open. i am not ashamed of the things that happened...disappointed or angry yes but not ashamed. i talk openly about how major depressive disorder has affected my life and how i’ve been able to come to terms with it. i talk openly about close brushes with suicide and what worked to get me back to a better place mentally. i talk a little less openly about the impact sexual assault had on every aspect of my life (that one is harder because i’m still working on some of the emotions and reactions around it). i talk openly about the changes i’m having to make as fibromyalgia makes itself more and more obvious in me. i’m not perfect. i still get angry and upset. i still get frustrated. i still feel hopeless sometimes. i feel all the negative emotions everyone else does but if i can help just one person, i will have a reason for all i’ve gone through. perhaps people on this site are that reason. it is my deepest hope that others don’t have to suffer as i have but, if they have, i want to use my god-given caregiver heart to help them through. 

may god bless and keep you.

Back pain can be caused by many possibilities, including;







disorders of the back muscles, for example due to incorrect body position when lifting heavy objects, improper posture when sitting, excessive stretching of the body, sudden and excessive body movements, and so on  

negligence in the spinal cushions, for example due to accidents / injuries that cause these cushions to change position, swell, or be damaged, so that the spinal nerves are pinched and cause pain  

spinal structural abnormalities, such as scoliosis, which is the condition where the spine curves to form the letter C or S  

Spinal infection  

Tumors / malignancies in the spine  

etc







  

Given the many possible causes of complaints, and remembering we also don't examine you directly, we cannot be certain of the conditions that cause the complaints you are experiencing. Therefore, we recommend that you see a doctor (more specifically an orthopedic doctor or neurologist), so that the doctor can perform a direct examination so that the diagnosis can be established. If needed, the doctor may suggest some additional investigations to help the diagnosis process, such as X-ray examination, MRI, CT-scan, and so on.



  

In the meantime, the following suggestions you can take at home while waiting for a doctor's schedule:







limit heavy physical activity, avoid lifting, pulling, or pushing heavy objects  

compress the area with a warm compress to help relieve pain  

if the pain is unbearable, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as paracetamol.  

improve your posture, avoiding too much downcast and tilting the body







  

That's all, hopefully it helps ..
