Bethers, I also get similar shooting pains, predominantly when I yawn or stretch. I realize it's very easy to say "don't worry", but based on my own experience and what I'm reading from fellow travelers here, I'm thinking you're going through some residual stuff from all you've been through. Still, always a good idea to discuss with the medicos as others have suggested. So I hope you'll be able to do that. But meanwhile, try and be calm (easy for me to say, right?). Come here and vent anytime you need to!

Keeping good thoughts flowing your way.
