Neurologist,  's  Response
I would highly recommend seeing an EMERGENCY ROOM doctor as opposed to an URGENT CARE DOCTOR. ER docs are much more experienced in electrocution injuries. You need to have an EKG and some blood work. You should also see a neurologist as soon as possible to do some baseline evaluations and neurological assessments. Pain could become very intense in the days to come....nonetheless, I would highly advise you not to take drugs that are potentially addictive or DEA controlled unless there is a definite STOP DATE beyond which you will not use them. Just my recommendation. Please rate this a 5 STAR RATED ENCOUNTER and write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi for more opinions.
