Are Electric Shock Like Pain In The Left Side Of My Left Hand And Left Breast That Intermittently Occurs Due To A Serious Illness?

Posted on Mon, 18 Jul 2022

Question: I have gotten this pain on the left side of my left hand (on the baby finger side) at exactly the same time as I get the exact pain under my left breast. Nothing in between. It feels as if I'm getting an electric shock in both places at the exact same time. It lasts for a few seconds and then disappears. It will happen periodically for a full day and then not happen again from anywhere from a week to several months. Everyone keeps telling me it is impossible for this to happen. It is happening.
