thedude58, that is none other than Occipital Neuralgia. I have this and what you described is what I go through if I do too much physically. It first started after 4 months of my injury and continues to give me that shock.
When I carried my nephew around, it was at its worst, i felt the shocks and later pain. I sure paid for that. But, I probably won't get to hold my nephew ever again. So I wasn't too hard on myself. I saw a neuro for these types of pain. Cortisone shots were the primary treatment. I saw improvement and saw even more improvement with physical therapy.
Hope this helps,
Elisa (Consider)
