Explanation

A stinger is a temporary injury to nerves around the neck and shoulder, often caused by the neck being forced into an awkward position. It can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in one arm. Therefore, the most likely cause is that Jeannine’s neck was hyperflexed and she felt tingling and weakness in her arm.
