Very strange shooting pain last night in my breast.... ladies? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

This is the 2nd time that this has happened. It has been a while since the last time it did happen but it is really strange.

I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep and I suddenly felt a sharp pain that felt like it traveled up from my chest and went straight through the center of my nipple and after it did my body did an involuntary jolt like I just had a jump start.. does that make since? I am used to feeling pains and sharp pains here and there so I know that is not what made me jump like that. It was so weird... like a bolt of electricity went through me and came out my nipple... LOL... and just when I though things could not get any stranger... LOL.

So I am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else

or if I have gone off the deep end this time.

Moonlady, sounds pretty strange to me. Never had that happen, but if it is something happening in KC. I hope it stays there and doesn't come east to ST.Louis.....giggle! I have had chest pains before, I thought maybe you were going to say you had that horrible sharp pain that goes right through you and builds till you can't stand it and then slowly eases up. Have never had an electrical jolt.

I typically get those pains in my back, neck and legs. It is like a jolt. But I get those those pains that Glojer mentioned as well.

Related at all to breast tenderness from period/PMS? Was it just one time then went away? Do you have costo?

No Period or PMS, I had a hysterectomy back in 97 but I do still get breast tenderness from time to time.... usually about once a month! My ovaries are still intact which also makes if very hard to determine if I am going through menopause but I have had a lot of the symptoms in the past year other than the normal missed periods.

It was so weird with the way it made me jump after it shot "out". I felt it coming and going out and I just summed it up to a normal shooting pain but after it went out, it caused an involuntary jump. I can see if it took me by surprise, but it was actually a different kind of a jolt than that. Really weird.

This happened one other time few months ago, same thing while I was laying down. I had about forgot about that time until it happened again.

I suppose it was probably just neurological but it was really weird. I get small lightening zaps once in a while in my arms and legs but nothing like that and none of them have ever made me jump like that but of course they never "exited" either, they just zap. I guess the jolt was caused from it exiting.

I get pains that build up like that too Glojer, not sharp pains though, just a building up bad aching miserable pain that seems to last forever and then slowly eases up. It is like someone is squeezing the life out of me.

What is costo?
