Stabbing Pain, Electrical Sensation In Calf. No Help With Neurontin. Disc Bulging In Neck. Cause?
I HAVE SHARP STABING PAIN WITH ELECTRICAL SENSATION IN THE SAME CALF FOR 2 MONTHS. IT IS NOT CONSTANT. I MAY GO 1 WEEK WITH NO PAIN, THEN SUDDENLY ITS BACK. NEURONTIN IS NOT WORKING TO STOP IT OR DULL IT. NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE IT COME OR GO. I DO HAVE 5 BULDGING DISC IN MY NECK WITH A SPUR WITH MILD COMPRESSION FROM MRI 3 YRS AGO. WHAT COULD BE CAUSEING THE INTERMITTENT PAIN?

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
Most probable reason for your electric sensation at calf may be compression of nerves due to your bulging disc.You should have a repeat MRI to confirm the present compression.Consult to a neurologist may have relief by epidural steroid injection.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
