Although my experiences may be anecdotal at best, I have to say that only lately, since I subjectively feel I am healing, that I experience "zaps". Maybe I had them before, and the overall pain/stabbing masked them, but lately (last 2 months) I feel distinct zaps in parts where I no longer have pain - in my case, my heels. They feel like someone has put their TENS on overdrive, or like what I was feeling during my EMG. They then dissipate quickly.
I instinctively assumed that the zaps were part of the healing process. They are nothing compared to the pains I used to feel. Obviously, like you say, where you feel them might not be the place where the nerve regeneration is taking place.
Like I said, anecdotal, but I do agree it might be part of the healing process.
