I also have this electric pain and I have had it long before my dx of TM. I
tell doctors about this and they just look at me like I am an idiot. I've not
hear of other TM'rs talk about this type of pain before. It is my single most
disturbing aspect of the condition. This week, while I was working with
students (I teach) I had an intense shock hit me in my lower back and across my
gluts left and right from my spine - it hit so hard that I yelled out - which
shocked everyone - I was about to explain when it hit again - and again and
agian - all i could do was sit down and griemence. I usually get these in my
chest and I've had them since about 19years of age. my neuro psyc says that I
am a hypercondriac. - well, call me whatever - just get rid of the d&*( pain!
Have you learned WHY the electric pain - obviously no one has told you how to
get rid of it - but i sure would like to find that out too
thanks for sharing

Hi Steven,
It's the one year anniversary of my TM attack and I was affected at
C4-C5. I guess it would qualify as a semi acute attack as my symptoms
developed slowly and I never lost mobility or even urinary/bowel
control though it does take more effort these days, what I did develop
was neuropathic pain from the chest down: feels like I'm being
electrocuted 24/7. My pain has never improved and is not likely to and
my balance is poor.
To avoid burning sensation I have given up all soda and limit juice to
a small cup a day. I find I can handle coffee if I drink a lot of
water. I also take vitamin C at night to acidify the urine and reduce
my chances of developing an infection. Hope this helps......
