Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Based on your description of your complaints. what i can infer is that you may be suffering from left hand tendinitis or spondylosis of cervical spine.

In plain layman language tendinitis means when due to overuse or ageing the tendons become inflamed. so whenever you use your hand repeatedly there is a tingling and uncomfortable sensation.

In the second condition the nerves which come to your upper hand may be pinched in your neck causing the shock like sensation in your arm. Would recommend you to see a orthopaedic specialist if the symptoms continue.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
