Hi, thanks for posting in the HCM. A burn injury due to electric shock, irrespective of the depth of burn, is considered severe burn injury. I think your husband is now having post burn neuropathy. A vitamin supplementation rich in vit B complex may help. For any further information, please write back. Regards, Dr. Kaushik
