I've not been yet for this new problem though I do have an appointment with my VA neurologist on Sept 8th for a follow up to my EEG on the 23rd. I've had a CT Scan done on the 13th of April with these notes:

Code:
The CT scan of the head is unremarkable and apparently unchanged from prior
studies. The CT of the neck has some degree of cervical spinal stenosis at C45
and C56 characterized as mild stenosis at C56. This is the source of the
electric shock to the legs you described. The narrowing is not enough to
consider cervical spinal surgery where is must be SEVERELY stenosed.
That was back when I would sometimes get what felt like little shocks in my legs. No one in my family, that I'm aware of, have or had the same problem. It happens when I'm either sitting back in my recliner with my legs out straight on the foot rest and I clench my toes downwards or move my legs outwards a tiny bit from the groin area especially my left one. It also happens when I'm lying in bed getting ready to go to sleep or at times the shaking will wake me up at night.
