What Causes Electric Sensation In Body And Tingling Sensation In Left Arm?

I am having electric shocks down my body thru my fingers and neck and shoulder pain to where I can hardly raise my arms. Hard to move freely. Constantly loosing my balance and my left arm is tingling and all my fingers also are tingling. Right and left. Left arm does have ulcer nerve damage for over 8 years getting worse. I can hardly make it up and down the stairs without huffing.

Hi I did review your condition
Your symptoms like electric shocks running through the body can be due a neurological issue especially since you also experience loosing balance and tingling
such a constellation is seen in multiple sclerosis or vitamin B12 deficiency which if diagnosed and treated early can be held in check.
howver i would advice to consult a neurologist and get a MRI and nerve condction test done to find out exact cause of your problem.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you all the best.
