Hi,
These kind of sensations are common after electrocution. This is actually due to superficial nerve damage by electric waves. You may feel similar shocks for the next 25-30 days. Nerve healing will take at least 3-4 weeks.
So if you may feel it for 3-4 weeks. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
