A member asked:

I was cleaning my stove and where the knobs go n it shocked me now my pinky & ring finger feel numb is this ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No it's not: Have a physician check your finger for nerve damage. But most of all have an appliance repair service check your stove. A short circuit can damage the stove, cause you harm, or start a fire.
