what do you mean electricity... just any tingling?

[HandsOnCare]

The test is positive if you get a tingling sensation in either the thumb, index, middle and 1/2 of ring, you may get it in all of the fingers or some of the fingers

@emmarie1 If you feel it in your fingers, thumb and elbow then that would be Carpal and Cubital tunnel. Cubital tunnel affects the ring/pinky fingers and elbow pain. I have both plus medial epicondylitis.

@Rebel4Life69 I got that too and I seem to be suffering from tendonitis on my posterior wrist. I am not a physician, so do not take my medical advice, but see a doctor and inquire about tendonitis.

When i do your test I get a tingling/numb feeling in all my fingers and thumb and two lines of an electric shock that shoots up my arm to my elbow from both the inside and outside of my wrist. I've had chronic pain in my hand and wrist for years and more recently elbow and forearm. Right now it's really bad. I love to knit and crochet and but right now, it's almost impossible. Although my hands and wrists hurt, the numbness and pain I'm feeling in my forearm and elbow has gotten worse.
