Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my name is tom. my age is 52, weight 180 lbs., ht 70 inches.i stay very active and consider myself in good shape. my question is. i have noticed lately that when i use my left hand to push or pull on a door knob or something similar, i get a tingling or a electrical shock of some degree.(on the area of my hand that is applying pressure) i have verified that there is nothing related to actual electrical shortages. its my body creating this continues shock feeling. Maybe i still have a little spark in me what s going on. some what concerned.
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
