A member asked:
Overnight i've had sharp pain in my right calf lasting a minute or do but very painful it's like electric shocks.i have a lot of back problems?

See below: This sounds like it is probably an irritated nerve in your back that starts firing spontaneously when you are in certain positions. This would be my leading guess although you need a good physical exam and review of your back problems. This is usually a treatable condition, often with medications that decrease nerve irritability.
