Used to get bad electric like spasms down both arms when coughing.now i get them on the tops of both hands.and sometimes across the tops of my feet.?

Spasms: While there may be degenerative arthritis in your back at several levels, symptoms with coughing suggests that there might be more to this, including lung disease. Then, symptoms involving both the arms and hands are from a nerve distribution that might be quite central and in the spinal cord but may be associated with diabetes. Finally, ms is the great imitator and MRI would possibly show signs.
