Hi,
Possibly you have injured some shoulder muscles during electric shock. Start pain killers and physiotherapy and if there is no improvement in 2-3 weeks, Get an MRI of the shoulder. Showing a doctor is always better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
