Shoulder osteoarthritis

Hello,
my question is, it's about my husband who has had shoulder arthritis for years. Normally, when it got really bad, he couldn't move his arm due to pain. Now, for the past three days, he has a different kind of pain, it's like an electric shock in the arm. The shoulder joint hurts slightly, but then goes away. The pain in the arm comes in intervals. Could this be related to the arthritis, or could it be something else? Does arthritis also cause this type of pain? He has an appointment with the orthopedist next week, but we wanted to ask in advance. Best regards
