HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, when electric current running through the human body this disturb the natural conduction system of muscles, disturb the blood circulation, this is a kind of electric thermal injury, so after the electric shock muscular pain and other pain or burning sensations are very much likely, hope this information helps you have nice day.
