you need to see your neurologist and do a nerve conduction study and EMG.

I agree with Dr. Dabaj's response above.
I will expand a bit on the subject. Basically, pain and "electricity running" down the arms and fingers can have many causes. Most of the time there is a nerve compressed along its course anywhere between the neck and the fingers.
A nerve conduction study and an EMG can give you an idea about the location of the compression, and will help direct the treatment. The nerve can be compressed at multiple sites and sometimes needs several interventions to help with the symptoms.
