I am having a shocking pain in my left arm, almost as if it were being electrocuted. It mostly happens whenever I bend my arm up, and the shock travels from my elbow to my hand and sometimes also to my shoulder. After it happens, it is still slightly painful. It does not happen every time I bend my arm. This used to happen to me a few years back, but after a while it went away. Today is the first day for it to happen since then.
Hi, Thanks for your query. Shocking pain in left arm seems to be due to nerve compression during bending. To exactly diagnose this problem, you need an MRI scan. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic like pregabalin and methylcobalamin medication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
