Get your fingers out of the electrical sockets. But no really, sounds like you might have some nerve problem, perhaps a pinched nerve in your cervical vertebrae or your shoulder. See a doc.

How many pushups are you doing? It sounds like good old lactic acid. This is normanl when a muscle is robbed of oxygen and is very common when performing high reps for pushups.
