I was electrocuted about a year ago
I accidentally put my hand on the main lug in a meter base while I was working on it
I suffered no burns
But my opposite limb,arm,shoulder wrist and hand all were affected
I have a constant pain 24/7/365 and some severe shooting pain at no certain times or area I have lost a lot of strength as well
And when I do try to use it ,it just get's worse
I can not hardly lift a thing or even open a bottle without it hurting
I had a mri and nerve test done and they could not find anything wrong
I have been through 2 stints of pt to no avail
The last dr I saw said there was nothing wrong with me
And could not do anything more to help me

Is there anyone out there that has some kind of idea to make the pain stop and to get me back to normal?

Nerves were damaged by the current and it is very difficult to determine where as it could even be in the spinal chord. As you know, nerve impulses are transmitted by signals in the body similar to electric currents.
The only suggestion I have is to try one or more neurological specialists at teaching hospitals. Maybe the power company would have some suggestions as this has surely happened before or similar circumstances, possibly to their own employees.
Finally, you weren't electrocuted if you are still alive to write this question. Good luck.
