because you already have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (ms) i'd suggest you contact your primary health care provider to inform him or her of this new symptom. and in answer to your question yes this is a "new symptom. " it may be related to the ms or it may be caused by something else. only your health care provider can tell you for sure. wishing you all the best! your shocks can absolutely positively be caused by your ms. i get the sensation of being "tasered" from my elbows through my hands. these "shocks" have literally lifted me inches off the couch or bed they are so powerful. i spent 10 days in the hospital with an eeg and 6 months later on an ambulatory eeg at home. seizures were ruled out. so great; once again i find out what it's not. the best answer i get is that they are a "complication of ms". the still hurt like hell though. my wife has devics disease and has these electric shocks everyday all over her body but mostly in her legs. yes this is called l' hermittes sign and i have this symptom in my arms and legs. over time it has improved some but i still have the feeling of shocks if i move my neck quickly. hope this helps. it very well could be. i have them in my head and it's like my brain is plugged into a socket. if it is at night and everything is dark i see sparks of light behind my eyes. usually it doesn't last long but it really is freaky.
