I keep getting sharp pain on the outside of my knee on my right leg. The pain feels similar to a tooth ache pain when a nerve has been exposed. The pain only lasts for a few seconds but is very sharp and painful. When i touch the area, it has a numbness feeling.
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve (perineal nerve). For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing nerve conduction studies. Surgery may be needed. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
