Question:
What could cause shooting, sort of electrical pain intermittently down the back of the arm?
I have a shooting type of electrical sort of pain, not severe, not all of the time, down the back of my left arm. It is about three-quarters of the way down between the shoulder and the elbow. It feels a bit like some type of nerve pain. It does not hurt when I press there, and the skin even feels a bit numb.
I have had this on and off for several weeks. Thanks.
Answers:
It could be anything from a pinched nerve to a torn rotator cuff...you probably need to go get your shoulder X-rayed. Hope you feel better soon!
