Arm soreness after an electric shock can generally be treated with acupuncture and similar therapies. If the arm has been shocked, heat application, physical therapy, acupuncture, blood-activating and meridian-unblocking medications, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help promote the absorption and resolution of edema in the muscles, fascia, and ligaments, thereby relieving arm pain. It is important to visit a hospital neurology department for evaluation and, under medical guidance, take oral medications that support nerve health. Electric shocks can cause some degree of nerve damage, leading to localized pain.
