What Causes Electrical Shock Sensation Along The Armpit?

For about a week now I ve had this electrical shock sensation along the outside of my left arm right below my armpit. It gets worse when I am outside walking, when I m styling my hair (I guess because my arms are above my head??) and when I m getting dressed.

Hello,

What I see from the history there might be some nerve entrapment in its course. Having it physically examined by an orthopedist should put more insights and may help to decide the muscle groups which are weaker need strengthening exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
