Electric shock from fence

tommyspiggy

Hi,
Well basically I was climbing over 2 strands of wire in a field to get up on a ditch to watch a rally.

Anyhow I got caught in the wire and fell back after getting a couple shocks into a puddle of water where I got a few more more severe shocks to my right leg.
Now around my knee cap is throbbing with pain with any movement. It has also swelled up a bit and what looks to be a small scar has appeared.
Any advice on how to heal this before I go to the doctors? Thanks

Swelling could be as a result from the fall, nothing to do with the fence. Best go see a doctor regardless.

Had no real fall, I landed in a puddle in a soft field . During the shock I could swear I felt something moving/muscles etc so I dunno. Thanks anyway

I'd go to a doctor. Not a load of random posters on the interweb.

Its normal for a muscle or two to be sore after a shock, especially in water.
As for the scar, its probably where the shock entered or exited your body, it'll probably be a blister.
So long as your heart rate isn't all over the place you be grand.

You don't care if you damaged someone's property and you come here looking for free help. Yeah you'll get loads of help with attitude like that!

You'll not suffer any lasting harm as the current is very small. Have gotten many a shock from them as a kid messing around with friends daring each other to hold on as long as we could.
