Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain After Electric Shock
hi! My father, 69 years old, accidently touched a live wire and got an electric shock last night. He has been complaining of shoulder pain after this and this pain is increasing. Is there a way this pain can be reduced / cured? Regards Paras Sachdeva

hi
looking at the age of your father, and the fact that an electric shock was struck, it is quite possible that he would have broken his humerus bone, and that too close to the shoulder, so please, get an x ray done first and screen for pain and swelling,
