What Causes Electrifying Sensation In The Arms After A Injury Behind Head?
My husband age 75 slipped and fell hitting back of his head. He immediately had the feeling of electrical shock in his arms. He has a bump on his head and some pain in his shoulder. My concern is the feeling he experienced in his arms. Is this something to be concerned about? I don t want a monthly subscription.

Hello,
The electrifying sensation in the arms after injury behind head indicates nerve compression from possible hematoma or else. He must be evaluated with an MRI of the brain and cervical region to diagnose the details of underlying tissue damage and further management plans.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
