Question
i used to get shocks in my hand frequently a couple of years ago. it didn't happen for 2 years until now when i got it twice and the pain was magnified. skin sensitivity in my right arm has decreased and the shock was in the right hand itself. my father had brain tumor and his symptoms started showing roughly when he was of my age. he had an operation around 15 years ago and is recovered. his right side is paralysed. please reply. i'm very worried.

Answer
Your symptoms are not normally such that I would associate them with a brain tumor but on the other hand I can not exclude the possibility either. You should anyway let a neurologist check you! Good luck!
