What Is The Cause Of A Dead Arm?

Its nothing serious but a few years ago i used to work in a plastics factory. I built up a huge amount of static electricity and i accidently touched a metal rack and the shock was that bad that it gave me a dead arm all the way from my hand to my sholder. the pain lasted several hours. Why was the shock so bad?
