default
Posted on Tue, 26 Sep 2017
Question: I am doing O. K, except I have very little feeling near the area where I had felt the sharp electrical shock feeling.
Could it be that a nerve just snapped, which may have given the me the momentary sharp electrical shock feel?

Brief Answer:
It’s too soon to tell!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for these updates.

At this time, we cannot say for sure that the nerve snapped. A snapped nerve would provide a constant severe discomfort/pain. This is not exactly what you are experiencing. Also, we may just be a bit more apprehensive given the fact that you have been more attentive to this area. I will recommend putting an eye of it. Unless something comes up and is so different from the current state, do not panic. Stay calm and alert me when need arises.

Until next, I wish you well. Keep me updated as always.
