[|Human|] Hi i m experiencing sharp electric shock pain in my right elbow. I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago and did experience the same pain prior to surgery. Can you tell me what could be causing this? happens mainly when exercising but has happened at random moments as well
[|AI|]  Hi, as you mentioned your symptoms, the pain cannot be related to the previous surgery of shoulder. As to which surgery was performed and for what issue makes an important here. Also, the shock nature of the pain is always referred to as the pain travelling through the nerves, when the nerve is pinched in its course or may be at its root. Taking an MRI of the cervical spine, NCV and EMG will help understand further what causes these symptoms. Also, if you can try performing neck strengthening exercises and trapezius Strengthening exercises and see for a week. If the pain level comes down then the pain is neuropathic in nature and an MRI will provide a good input. Usually with exercise things come to 99% of success. With the grace of God I wish you a good health
