Why do the arm and hand feel weak, tingly and sore after got electrocuted?
Patient: My left hand just touched something on the back of my cable box and I began to get electrocuted (my whole hand and arm tingling and pins sensation). I didn t feel it anywhere else in my body beyond that. It lasted about 3 seconds before I could pull it away. my hand and arm feel weak and tingly now and a bit sore. Should I be concerned that I did damage? What should I do now? Doctor: hihope this msg finds u in good health.There doesnt seem to be any problem as this a routine complaint after getting electrocuted.its due to sensitivity of nervesu will b fine in about 3 weeksthanks. .god bless
