What causes electric shock like pain in inner hip?
Patient: Recently I ve had lower back pain and am now, on occasion, suffering from simultaneous electric shock like pain in both my inner hip/groin along with sharp electric shock like pain in the back of my foot. The pain only lasts a few seconds but is quite unbearable. Any ideas? Doctor: Here you have told about symptoms like back pain and shock like pain or sensatiin in inner hip as well the back of the foot. This kind of pain is usually related to back pain(spinal issue related with disc and nerve) only and rarely it may also be related to vitamin B deficiency along with less water intake.I suggest to visit a orthopedic and get your self examine properly, if needed go for x ray and then do take blood report to know about vitamin B level in body. As per the report and evaluation doctor will suggest for the precautionary treatment with medication. I suggest also visit a physio for postural correction, advice on back and leg strengthening and stretching exercises. And also do follow it.You can also use a hot bag at your back for some relief in pain.As per your symptoms what you have given nothing looks major so I have given you simple guideline and I am sure you will feel better once you start taking steps on it. Take care.
