What Does Electrical Sensation On Shoulder Indicate?
Yesterday I started feeling a slight electrical sensation in my upper left shoulder that would last maybe a second. This would reoccur about every minute or so. This lasted from late afternoon and didn't go away until after waking up today. Any idea what the cause may be?

Electrical sensations or paraesthesias as we call them could be due to nerve compression and the region you are talking can involve the suprascapular nerve. It is time you consult an orthopaedic surgeon or a peripheral nerve surgeon and take appropriate treatment, may be at this stage thins ger corrected early. meanwhile if you are an adult you can start on with Tab Methyocobalamine 1500mcg SR regularly once daily.
