I was working on a machine and recieved a great amount of shock from the machine to my hands. Now I have so much pain in my hands, I do not have any strength in my hands. No feeling in the fingers. I have tried ice and it help while the ice is on my hands. What else can I do.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Feeling of numbness and tingling is quite common after electric shock. You can go for a nerve conduction study to check for any possible nerve damage. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
