A member asked:

I feel electric shock sensation on upper left leg. no pain, just electric shock feeling. no injuries or back problem. what this could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve pain: nerves can get irritated, without any antecedent event. It can be your belt, tight pants, sitting too long, the way you drive..usually nothing to worry about. singular pain is local in nature. try stretching and add magnesium to your supplements.. 250-500 mg
