Every time i reach out to grab something there is an electric shock sensation on my wrist. i don't know why or what that is. ?

Wrist pain: The most common nerve to be effected in your wrist is the median nerve. It crosses the wrist to your hand and can be stimulated by palpating your wrist. It is in a space called the carpal tunnel where it is surrounded by bones. If this is where your symptoms come from get checked.
