What would cause a sudden, short shooting pain in the area around the outside of the knee joint? i get this sometimes, unexpectedly, and it only lasts for a few seconds, but really stings. thank you?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you described suggests nerve impingement. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
