Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Probably, he is describing the defibrillator discharge?
Cale vein thrombi / Embolism / Nerve root pain (from low back) / electrolyte imbalance – are a few considerations...
Get him examined again by his doctor / The treating doctor alone can suggest based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
