Nerve: Quick shocks of pain often are due to pinched or irritable nerves. If you are sitting a lot and/or are overweight, you may be pinching the nerve going into the right lower leg and groin. If the pains persist i would start with an exam of the groin area and abdomen by a general surgeon or gynecologist.

A nerve issue?: These may be from a nerve issue. See orthopod if you have a back issue, else your family doctor.
