Pain shooting up leg from knee, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on any asso-: Ciated hx of any other symptoms, any hx of injury, or back issues. A pinched nerve in the back can cause such symptoms like the one you have (called retrograde radiation of pain) which can start in the knee or foot/ankle or leg area and shooting up towards the hip or even to the back. Have it checked by your orthopedist.
