You betchya! I'll let you know. Knees are tough because you're dealing with two different types of pain, both skeletal and soft connective tissue. The big-time stuff is great on skeletal but iffy on connective tissues which are on fire. Pain sure keeps you alert though huh? Nature's pretty cool when you think about it. I find shock to be like an acid trip. It's like being outside your body and looking back in. Time stands still. Your mind drifts elsewhere and yet you see and hear everything around you.

Does shock make your hands and legs shake too? Just asking because I had an injury once where I was bleeding a lot. My hands and legs were shaking. I never understood why.

How can you tell? I have thumb arthritis, tried several things, neurontin also, and including an experimental drug I'm on now. Nothing really seems to work much. My thumbs are fine most of the time but when I use them a certain way, I get zapped with a very sharp pain. It feels like nerve pain to me. I also wonder if it's only thumb arthritis & not something else as well.
