A member asked:
Causes for intermittent pain above and right of left knee area electric shock-like pain lasting 10-40 sec. each episode.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intermittent pain: A thorough neurologic work up should be carried out to ensure that the sensory saphenous nerve is not entrapped. The lower back should be examined as well to rule out any discogenic source of the pain; finally check and make sure that there is no systemic reasons such as diabetes and/or thyroid disease.
