I experience this eletrical feeling when I shiver or yawn, at times. It will run down (or up) my legs/ arms. Anyone else? I also have described it as a static type feeling.
I described this to my physical therapist, but he didn't seem to know (not a big suprise, but he thought is was strange). |

Hi Vanessa,
Yes, I get lots of electrical zaps, the worst is a buzzing, exactly like a joke electrical shocker thingy, right where the brachial plexus is, left side (RSD side). Can come on when I lift my arm up, or sneeze. Usually the zaps are like the "funny bone" in your elbow, except not in the elbow - really takes me by surprise every time. But the weirdest, and I've only had this maybe half a dozen times in the 3 years I've had RSD, is the feeling of water trickling down my skin. It is so exactly like it, I have to look up at the ceiling to make sure something hasn't leaked on me.....very strange! First time it happened I simply couldn't believe my mind could play such tricks....go figure! all the best! |

Dear IHH -
I know that you are - perhaps with good reason - cautious when it comes to adding new drugs. That said, I have to go on and tell you that the best thing that I found for stabbing electrical pains was a benzodiazepine called Xanax. I take 0.5 mg. 4 times a day, and while it is normally prescribed for anxiety and is in the same chemical family as Valium, it has given me no psychotropic effect of which I am aware. But it has really helped with the electrical pain. Good luck. Mike |

I am cautious with the medications, but I am not ruling out taking another... I am willing to try different things in order to "get better" or more comfortable. I am listening to my Dr. on the medications, and I don't suggest to her what to prescribe me, KWIM? |

Personally, I don't see the harm in asking about a specific medication, if only under the heading of "someone on this RSD forum suggested that I ask about . . . ." Otherwise, you don't really know if your doctor considered it or was thinking about something else when you mentioned it. But that's just my style, I guess.

Hi, In His Hands,
I used to get electrial type pain, it went away. The only med. I take is Valium at night only today. Which is a miracle. I have not had Ketamine but just about everything else. I used to have to take so many meds. it was just unbelivable. I wish I knew what helped get the zaps. gone exactly. So I could really help. I still get the rain drop feelings, like Artist described. but they are a bit less as well. Keep the Faith. Hugs, Roz |

Hi, not really raindrops, Roz (although as well sometimes it can be like fine rain) - but this is different, it's like someone standing beside me, close, is slowly tipping a whole glass of water down my arm. Exactly like that. ------> TOOTOOTOOTOO (twilight zone music)
all the best! |
