Nerve issue: Electrical shock sensations along an arm are always suspicious for nerve issues - especially now if you hare having finger changes. It's best to have an MD evaluate you to see if there are physical changes consistent with cervical nerve irritation. Nice article to review - http://www.necksolutions.com/cervical-radiculopathy.html
