I've always associated those shooting pains as nerve pain. It's almost electrical! I also get a burning pain along nerve tracts. Muscle spasms are different to me. Usually a deep, tight ache with some stabbing thrown in for good measure. After all this time, I still have trouble describing the different pain I get!

I would run this symptom by your doc, but at 2 months out, I hope it's those nerves waking up. I've heard post-op patients say this happens as the nerves are healing.

Hang in there, carolyn, and take care.
