What Causes Electrical Shock From Forearm To Fingers And Forearm Back Muscle?

Feeling an electrical shock that goes from my R forearm down through to my 3rd and 4th fingers and up to a muscle in the back of said arm. As I extend my reach in any direction. Have had Carpal Tunnel surgery in both wrists 2003 and this feels similar to that but higher in the forearm. The weigh of a eating utensil is now hard to manage 48 hours with this painful announce.. Not bruising no inflammation in sight. Do I contact my doctor? Is heat or ice better to lessen the shocks? Will Aleve help me find some relief? can I wait to see if this feeling passes?
