Why am I getting electrocuted by metal after my hand implant was removed?

[creepyone]

hi, I'm a web developer so i usually stay in front of a computer for almost 12 hrs a day.

my question is, when i get up from my computer and hold a metal, ex. faucet or a spoon, or even a refrigerator holder i get electrocuted.
FYI, by the way, i got a surgical implant in my right hand because of a severe breakage of my bone. and the implant stayed in my arms for about 6 or 7 years, but its been removed last year.
is it connected? I'm just curios because i get electrocuted for 5 up to 10 volts..

its like I'm being bitten by a big big ant... ?

is there any explanation with this?? it all started after the removal of my hand implant.

Is there any reason why you don't think it's a run-of-the-mill static shock? How is it different?

I cannot provide a definitive answer without more information and conducting experiments. However, here are some possible explanations for why you may be experiencing electric shocks after the removal of your hand implant:

1. The implant may have created a pathway for electricity to flow through your body. Metals are good conductors of electricity, so if the implant was made of metal and was connected to other metal objects in your environment, it could have allowed electricity to flow through your body, resulting in the shocks you are experiencing. The removal of the implant may have disrupted this pathway, causing the shocks to stop.

2. The implant may have created a buildup of static electricity in your body. When you sit in front of a computer for long periods of time, you can build up static electricity in your body. This static charge can be discharged when you touch a metal object, resulting in a small shock. The implant may have enhanced this effect, and its removal may have stopped the buildup of static electricity.

3. The removal of the implant may have caused nerve damage in your hand. The nerves in your hand are responsible for sensing touch and pain, and if they were damaged during the removal of the implant, it could cause you to feel electric shocks when touching certain objects.

4. It is also possible that the shocks are unrelated to the implant and could be caused by an issue with the wiring or grounding in your home. If you are consistently experiencing shocks in certain areas of your home, it may be worth having an electrician check for any potential hazards.

In any case, if the shocks are persistent and causing discomfort, it is important to consult a medical professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They may be able to conduct tests and provide a more accurate explanation for your specific situation.
