HELLO & WELCOME TO HCM FORUM
YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED THE SITE OF INJURY DURING ELECTRIC SHOCK.
YOU SHOULD GO FOR NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES OF LOWER LIMB AND ALSO FOR COLOUR DOPPLER STUDY OF YOUR LOWER LIMB
THERE MAY BE RISK OF NERVE INJURY AS WELL AS BLOOD CIRCULATION INJURY AS YOU ARE FEELING NUMBNESS INYOUR LIMB
DRUG SUCH AS ANTIOXIDANTS, EPLARESTAT MAY BE HELPFUL TO PREVENT FURTHER DETERIORATION
YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSULT TO PHYSICIAN
