Is It To Be Concerned About The Electric Shock Which Caused Discomfort In Arm, Foot And Calf?

last night i got sort of electricuted while working with our sump pump, it sprayed me with water several times while I was trying to unplug it so I got zapped 3-4 times which stopped my muscles from working for a moment or two each time I got sprayed. Now my left arm and left foot and calf are sore and I feel a little bit weird- is that from the shocks?? I was standing on a rubber mat at the time, when the water hit me it felt like it was acid because i felt the electricity wherever the water touched me??

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

If there was no incident of loss of consciousness then you need not to worry. Such sensations are due to damage to free nerve endings. It will regenerate in 2-3 weeks gradually. Also if there is no burn on skin is a good sign. Meanwhile for pain you can take acetaminophen.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
