Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 -Hi! Yes, I have had the same feeling in my hands. But I recently had survery on my neck to repair vertebras. They had to go in and take vertebra out and replace it with bone from my hip. I had a huge spur and also one vertebra was half closed on my spinal chord. I don't know if it had something to do with the spur or what but since the operation I don't have that electric feeling in my fingers anymore. I noticed it more when I was in the shower and would touch the facets to turn on or shut the water off. Have a GREAT DAY!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 -- I forgot to mention that I also have walked on the sides of my feet since I can remember. I have always worn the sides of shoes off.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 << What is kind of funny or wierd is several times a day my index finger feels like I have stuck my finger into an electric socket or I have been hit by a small bolt of lightning !!!??? >> I know the feeling too, but I only have it in my toes/feet/legs, so far. Jolting, isn't it! Very painful. It always causes me to jump or jerk. Sorry I don't have a solution to suggest. Various meds have helped various people. Often the meds cause drowsiness, so a person has to decide if the side effects are worth the amount of relief. I don't take anything for mine at this point, and I've lived with it for about 5 years. Mine have morphed into wrenching spasms part of the time. No less painful, just different. I'm trying to think of something cheery to end with! When P.T. Barnum was running his museum in New York, he found that people would pay admission and stay for hours, drifting from room to room, thus preventing newcomers from getting in. He therefore placed a sign over a door and patrons, expecting a new curiosity, went through the door in droves and, before they knew it, found themselves out in the street. The sign read: TO THE EGRESS. From Humorous Anecdotes about Famous People by C. Henry, published 1948. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
