Every now and then I get what feels like a sharp feeling to the rightside of my right knee it comes and goes without warning . It feels like being zapped by electricity but only for a split second. And its very painful, some days I wont get it but other days it happens 2 to 4 times in that day
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised. As you are getting a sharp shooting pain in the lateral side of the knee, it could be related to the pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. As many a time, the indication of the pinched nerve comes this way and an MRI can help assist to understand the mechanism of the soft tissue. Also, undergoing physical therapy like - core strengthening, pelvic floor strengthening, spine muscle strengthening, lower limb strengthening will help keep safeguard the spine and avoid future injuries. In my clinical practice most patients respond well to physical therapy and avoid future issues. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
