19/1/2010. the last 3wks,not only has been painful, but quite amusing?, it just started all on its own, sat watching the news when all of a sudden ,almost leapt out of chair, it felt like a electric prod had zapped my leg,so bear with me.it happens on my right leg, just above my knee,and could get me about 6or7 times a hour,but the last 3 days it can be about20 times a hour, my leg seems to have developed tourettes.went to the doctors today, and even she started laughing, never came across it she says,not what i wanted to here i say,so i am being refered to a neuroligist,maybe it will stop as quick as it started.with me the first thing is the shock, then it lingers with a throb for about 30 seconds and sometimes it stops for awhile,but it has spred up the thigh abit more,so i am sorry to say, but it is nice to know a few more people has something on the same lines as me,and am not just doing it to give my husband a laugh, its just not great when i am in mid sentence when it happens, so if anyone out there, has been told exactlywhat it is ,and how to get rid of ,i am all ears. doonan.
