I have a question for any of those who have a medical background: It is possible to have specific nerve damage in one's arm from electrocution?

I was rather nicely zapped by a fridge about a year ago and am still having problems with my right hand, the side that was immediately effected by the current (cramping awful pain and weakness for 3 days afterwards), simply dropping things, like a hiccup in the signal to hold an object.

I am beginning to get VERY worried about this, as I am in applying for nursing school and it very well could effect my future.

So, does anyone have any info on this and any places I can look to research this? I have no health insurance to speak of so going to a doctor has to be my last thing I do.

Thanks.
