Maybe we're not talking about the same thing, but before the first of my 2 spinal fusion surgeries in my neck, I was experiencing random shocks of intense pain all over at any given time. It could be the top of my foot, or my knee, my hands, anywhere.
At first my wife thought that I was over reacting to it when it happened, and I put up with for over a year before my first neurosurgeon saw me. He did an MRI of my spine, and saw a ruptured disc in my neck at the C5-C6 level.
After having these vertebra fused, the random pains dissipated by about 90%. There aren't any wonder drugs that I'm aware of that will do what you're asking. Have you seen a doctor or had any x rays or an MRI done?

Wow. I have never known of anyone else who has had these symptoms. I have been experiencing them increasingly the past couple of years. I am getting a cervical MRI on Tuesday but haven’t had much hope that my neck area could be the cause of pain all over the place. But your post leaves me hopeful. Thank you for sharing!

@zoomrotten88
Have you been to a podiatrist and neurologist for testing to get to the source of your pain? Treatment will depend on the diagnosis.

Forgive me if this sounds crass... but put the scream in singing form. I do this. We're allowed to sing, right? Whereas screaming is, oh dear, frowned upon.
Wail the blues... that's where they came from. Make it up or listen to the old timers who wailed the pain of living unfree. Pain that makes me scream is me living unfree. So I sing, loud. Don't even need words, but words make it really interesting.
It's profound, this. Not me, but it. To" give voice",
damn... that's what we do when we scream... I Give Voice. Oh, I hate the pain... I loathe what it takes away. How it is shortening my life! So I annoy the hell out of people but when the pain does what you say... and I know this Thing lurking in the chronic ongoingness... it's There, unannounced. I loathe all of it. I have learned to Give Voice... Somehow.
