Electrical?

Hi Steveo67,
About 2 months ago, I started getting electrical sensations on my skin surface of my left shoulder - it extended down the front to about the top side of my PM; over the top and down the back side about 2-3 inches; down the outside about 3 inches. They were random in occurrance and duration.
Then, about 3 weeks ago the electrical sensations stopped and the skin in the area became numb. I'm not sure this is anything like what you are experiencing.
My GP checked me out and could not find anything. So, he referred me to a neurologist with whom I have an appointment this coming week.
I hope that I get some good information that I can share with you.
Take care,
Richan
