A member asked:

Im having muscle cramps & electric shock sensation in my traps/supraspinatus. the cramps are so intense that they're sore.what causes&whatcan i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If...: If your neck position causes the pain, then the problem could well be in the spinal cord in the neck. Electric pains are often related tosome nerve or spinal cord issues. May need to see your doc, and/or a neurologist. Best of luck!
