Accepted Answer

: There are a variety of nerves running throughout your body. Any burning, cold, tingling, painful jolt, or crawling sensation could be the result of improper stimulation of these nerves = parasthesia. If this is a recurring sensation or you have strange sensations in multiple areas, it might be time to see a Neurologist. They can do nerve testing and determine the underlying cause.
