As per your query you have electric shock like sensation on the shoulder which is troubling you, Sometimes it occur due to side effects of certain medicine. Withdrawal symptoms of some drugs are very severe and they give a feeling like electric shock in mouth to dizziness, mood disorder. Another major reason for the same is presence of any cervical spondylosis , radiculopathy or nerve damage giving shock type feel. I would suggest you to visit neurologist to check the nerve damage or nerve compression and take any medication which can reduce its symptoms. Visit orthopedic surgeon also once to check if any problem in shoulder joint and cervical spondylosis .Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , nerve supplement or physical therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshari
