What Causes Lighting Bolt Shock In The Left Shoulder And Rib?
On the rare occasion (counted 3 so far) I ll get this lightning bolt shock from inside me. I can t explain the direction of it but it seems to hit my left shoulder, left ribs and left hip like some kind of trapped nerve? I m curious as to what could lend to this - I have sustained a Rib Injury many years ago and I m thinking perhaps this has something to do with it?
