What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Hands After An Electric Shock?
I was carrying a tape gun in my hand as I was opening the door the tape gun touched the electrical box located next to the door creating an electrical shock through my left hand and up to my arm. My left side of my hand and arm have been tingling and numb ever since.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, electric shock is kind of thermal injury what the symptoms you have may not be due to that but it seems to be due to cervical spine pathologies and it needs to be ruled out first, so better to get done the cervical spine Imaging report, nerve injury due to brisk electrical shock is very less likely hope this information helps.
