I have been experiencing a very intense itching on my left upper arm and electrical shock spasm like feelings. Burns like a jellyfish sting. A NP thought it was a staph infection and started me on Bactrim and daily topical Clindamyacin. Hasn t helped much. .Had another NP tell me it was nerve endings and prescribed a topical steroid and antihistamines. Nothing is helping.
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of cervical radiculopathy. If you are around middle age, cervical disc lesions from cervical spondylosis is a common cause. Younger people with damage to the intervertebral disc, congenital abnormalities etc. can have similar symptoms. If you could consult an internist or a neurologist a diagnosis would be made and proper treatment advised.
