It feels like a stabbing pain...that comes all of a sudden...It feels like the size of an injection needle sharply going deep through the skin..so quickly it makes me jump. I get them normally on my inner thigh.

Sorry, I've been shocking 2hrs. straight. About every 30-40 seconds, these aren't the worst of them, I have only one spot zapping at this time. These are like electric pulses that travel, picture a lightning bolts path through the air. Put that in your leg. Mine is in the back left side of my knee right now and kinda disperses like a shock wave.
I'm not going for the who can take more pain contest. I not trying to be the toughest person award. I just want to be sure when I say shocks it's how I'm experiencing them.
They are coming less frequently now. Thank you Lyrica Thank you Lara for the distraction. The Lyrica usually works in a hr., this time it took 2hrs. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. I took 125mg when they started, thats 75mg more than I take regular 4x a day.
kilg0retr0ut..i admit, i consider myself very fortunate in respect of nerve pain. Im more troubled with burning feet, spasms and hypersensitivity on my legs.
Still...even with that..i consider myself fortunate so i can empathise with you, sincerely!
So, Lyrica has turned my short-term memory to sh**.
I forgot a phone conversation I had with my mother 5 seconds after I hung up. I had to call her back right away and recap the conversation. This is frustrating!

Thought I warned you about that Knight. If not my apologies. I'll be the first to say it not the perfect med. First time a learned they don't mix I pissed myself, while conscious, that was a first. You can get away with a couple beers with dinner, but no table dancing. My Doc, after three years has figured the whole shock thing is scar tissue. She says the scar tissue rubs against the nerves creating the shock sensations. I'm not sure I'm buying it yet, but it's the closest I've had for an explanation.
