So I had an ultra sound done and no blood clot and the only possible conclusion was nerve damage. I did not notice pulling anything in my back or leg. Its weird, sometimes the pain will pulse and then go on for 15 mins without feeling a thing. Yesterday I didnt feel any pain for about 12 hours.

I have had these electric shock episodes in my left leg for ten years and mine is also connected with weakness in that leg. No one can give me a good explanation for them, other than it could be linked with MS which my neurologist refuses to say I have. I get injections in my thigh to the nerve branch and that may or may not help for awhile. I would see a neurologist to rule out other issues. He can do the nerve block if he feels he can "get to the spot." It is simple and just an injection. My physiatrist also does it for me since I can't get in to see my neurologist except as a scheduled followup. My pain woke me up in the middle of the night last night. The sharpness of mine makes me say it feels more like an ice pick or knife stabbing me.
