While Walking Get Electrical Shocking Feeling In Thighs. Can It Be Due To Steel Toed Shoes?
Sometimes when i walk i get a electrical shocking feeling on the inner part of my knee/thigh. I work in a factory and wear steel toed shoes but i have asked everybody else if this happens to them from walking on the concrete and they look at me like i am crazy. Can you help?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The electric shock like feeling in the thighs is not related to the steel toed shoes. This is related to a nerve root irritation at the level of lumbar spine or methylcobalamin deficiency.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
