feeling of lightning jolt sensation on front side of thigh. no real pain, but electric shock feeling. has happened a few times recently. stiff back but not bad. any ideas what it could be?

There are several other rare conditions that can be considered, like pelvic problems or some spinal conditions. See your doctor
