Hi, What I understand by the history is this is related to your past medial history of injury to the back. There might be chances of nerve entrapment and needs an attention. Since the pain is in sharp shooting in nature we need to work on it.  Seeing an orthopedist and an X-ray or MRI Will be of good choice to come closer to conclusion. Rest you may be asked to undergo physical therapy for few days for some exercise program post which you can continue at home.  In my practice I have seen many who comes with fresChatDoctorplaints, but they are too connected with the past medical history. Rest assured, you should do well with physical therapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
