When i sit or lie in a certian position i get the wierdest shooting pain from my hip to my ankle. is it normal?

No: No it is not normal. You should consider going to your doctor young lady.

Sounds like a nerve: What you are describing sounds like a nerve and is not normal. You should consider having it evaluated.

Nerve pain: It sounds like you are experiencing nerve pain. The nerve pain can come from nerve impingement in the lumbar spine area, or peripheral nerve impingement. You would need an emg/ncv to get more information about the nerve pain. You should seek help from a pain management doctor. You might benefit from a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
