I Am Feeling Little Current Like Surges In My Left Hand Joint Between Left Forearm And Left Upper Arm From Past 3 Days
Doctor , I am feeling little current like surges in my left hand joint between left forearm and left upper arm, from past 3 days, first i thought it is normal, but it is continuing. It is not inhibiting my daily works, but it gives little painful shocks. Please help me.

Dear Suraj,
It could be compression neuropathy due to some of the sensory fibers of your nerves being compressed or could be some local pathology like tennis elbow, you will have to be more specific about the site and nature of pain. A NCV test will help in that case or visit some neurologist/plastic surgeonif it proves to be a compression neuropathy)/ orthopedic surgeon having special interest in brachial plexus/nerve surgeries.

get any ecg done first and rule out that the current is not comming from the heart, if the ecg is normal than get an evulation for the spine from the orthopedician or spine surgeon
