Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Were you receiving electric therapy for some psychological disease? If yes, then ECT usually is at a much lower dose than that which can cause brain damage. However, if you got electrocuted due to faulty wiring or from an electric appliance, then yes, brain damage is possible. Since you have neurological symptoms, yes, possibly there is a brain damage. The symptoms could also be due to low Vit B12, multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, thyroid disorders or due to pinched spinal nerves.
It is difficult to say if you are getting the right treatment. Please take a second opinion from another neurologist. Take care!
