Sometimes (like this morning) I will get a pain on my body for no apparent reason. For instance, I was getting up this morning and got a severe burning pain under my left shoulder blade -on my back- for about ten seconds. I was like, “Ouch, ouch” and started rubbing it. It felt like someone burning me with a cigarette or something extremely hot. This happens probably twice a month. I had someone look at the spot earlier and they said nothing looked odd. No burns, scratches, pimples or cuts. Sometimes it happens on my stomach as well. It’s a really sharp, burning sensation and it hurts like hell for about ten seconds and then just goes away. What causes this phenomenon? Does someone have a voodoo doll of me? lol ---

haha, god I hope not. Though some would probably find that erotic in some way.
