Sharp nerve like pain behind knee?

Torn meniscus maybe: If the pain persists , need examination for possible torn cartilage in the knee or ligament injury depending of the history of how it started.

See doctor: There are a number of things he can cause pain like that from knee joint problems to vascular problems. I would get into see a regular doctor or an orthopedic surgeon.
