What Causes Feeling Of Electric Shocks On Upper Right Thigh?

My mother is currently recovering from sciatica on her right side. She has been in terrible pain and we are trying to manage her pain with Norco and Tramadol. There has been little relief from the pain. She also has a terrible back including osteoporosis, arthritis, collapsed discs and stenosis. Today she started a new symptom which is a feeling of electricity in her upper right thigh when she standing or walking. It goes away after a few minutes when sitting.Should we be concerned?
