I'm experiencing these weird vibration-like shock waves that go from my left shoulder to my left hand. It's been happening on and off for about a month now. Im a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing it. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I recommend taking Tab Pregabalin 75mg once daily at night for relief. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the affected area for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a neurologist for further evaluation and management.
