Have shoulder pain and sore muscles in arms im wondering if its cold shoulder as im getting electric shocks down my muscles?

Those symptoms seem consistent with either cervical plexus neuropathy due to cervical spine problem or shoulder impingement syndrome. You can use local heat pad + OTC ibuprofen or naproxen every 6-8 hours for a couple days (if no contraindication with NSAID). If symptoms persist, you should be evaluated by an orthopedist.
