What Causes Soreness In The Arm After Experiencing An Electric Shock?
My husband got shocked at work today. He was changing out an a.c. unit in a hotel room and the condimsation dripped on the wire and shocked me. His arm and hand are like feeling sore now is that normal? He has no visual burns or anything. He did not loose conscious. He seems fine other than his arm feeling sore.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If he currently has no symptoms including no chest pain , shortness of breath or abnormal heart rate abnormal sensations or confusion, then he can consider monitoring.
If any of these or any concerning symptoms are present, then he should be seen.
I hope this helps
