Hi I’m type 1.5 and recently experienced a feeling of electric shocks in my arms like all my veins were electric threads. It’s an awful and painful feeling. I’m not sure if it’s neuropathy but being sent for ultrasound scan on my shoulders as dr felt it may be my rotator cuffs on shoulders. X Ray showed normal. It hurts to reach around my back like unfastening my bra and reaching up.
Anyone else have similar?
It’s such a weird feeling. I go to the gym but have left off arm exercises for now.

My first step with bodily aches and pains had issues with back followed by two frozen shoulders) is to check them out with a physiotherapist...
 
Hi well I gave bursitis in my right shoulder blade with impingement and been to a few physio appointments since but my neck x Ray showed disc problems and next physio appt I will discuss this as gp wasn’t helpful

I see. That sounds painful. I hope they can help you find some relief. I had two frozen shoulders at once years ago. I got cortisone injections in both and started intensive therapy. It was quite effective and I haven’t had any recurrence. I realize that’s a different condition.
