It's similar to wire chafing. The insulation is cut or worn through and whatever touchs the exposed wire causes a short; hence the shocking pain strikes in my jaw in my case. So, exercising was nearly impossible for me. Hope this info helps in some way.

Hi Todd.
Well, that's how it turned out. Even though the MRI showed nothing, upon opening me up during the MVD surgery in January, that is exactly what they found.
So all is fixed and everything is DUCKY!
Thank you for posting. I was really doubting my pain but could directly relate it to heart rate.
