"Electric Shock" type pain in my scalp!

I read all of the above but this last one really struck home! For the last year or so I’ve had a shock pain that seems to start in my left hip and emanates out toward my extremities. No answers yet from my doctors including a neurologist. Tha closest I can think of is that I had a bone deterioration test (I have Paget’s disease) showed only a 10% bone loss in my left hip. Haven’t been able to meet with my neurologist.
BTW I am 88 years old and live in the Boston area which has some of the largest and best facilities in the world. The medical establishment seems to be in disarray with cataclysmic changes going on. I’ve been to the three top ones and it seems universal. I’ve had to wait more than 6 months to get a date for an endo/colonoscopy. It’s coming Nov 1st.
Guess all we can do is be “patient patients”. Now I know why that term is used.😆

I’ve been having this shocking pain after receiving the stim wave I don’t know what it is
Why would you need an colonoscopy at 88YO? I've heard that once you hit 75 they are no longer needed.
It is the sad everywhere. I hope you get relief soon. Skeleton

I forgot to mention that I have multiple peripheral neuropathy and I’m male.
I’m guessing that since I’m in the middle of all these great medical facilities, people must be coming from all over the world in droves. Plus many and varied medical personnel are leaving the field. I have experienced that as part of the problem. Scheduling is horrible. I’ve made appointments the had to remake them later because the person has left.
I also forgot to mention that I have Barrett’s esophagus for which I am taking omeprazole!
And a few other things. Living 88 years you can accumulate many litlle things.
