Electric Shock

[Acidomoduso]

OK guys... just a quicky.

I'm in no way anxious about this at all... more curious.

For the second time (the first time was a few weeks ago), tonight i was sitting at my computer desk when i got an almighty electric shock just above my knee in the lower thigh muscle. Now, the only way i can describe it is like the gas cooker lighters (y'know, the ones that click-click-click until the gas ignites). It's a real static or electric shock. BAM! and my leg almost flips up in the air with the pain. It settles down almost immediately but i'm left with a bit of an ache in the spot where it occurs.

Like i say, this is only the second time it's happened to me (again i was sat in front of the computer and the shock was in the same place).

Any ideas guys? It's a little perplexing!

So, it would seem that i AM alone in feeling this! :D No takers?

The first thing that came to my mind was sciatica pain, i get this and it can feel like an electric shock, usually only lasts a few seconds but is a right stinger of a pain.

Sounds like it could be that. It does seem to happen when i'm slumped a little on the chair.
You're right though... it's a real zap. I swear the wife has a taser gun somewhere!

I get that kind of pain in my left bum cheek and it's sciatic. It's always a shock even though I've had it on and off since I was pregnant 5 years ago!
