Need Treatment For Stabbing Pain On The Leg
For several weeks now and daily if not more frequently, I will get a very sharp stabbing pain in the inside of my lower left leg. It usually lasts a matter of seconds, but there is never any indication of it coming or going. It is so sharp that it alomost startles me.

Hello,
As there is no history of High blood pressure and skin discoloration mentioned we have to rule out the varicose veins here.
The history only mentions about the stabbing pain in the leg, which guides towards the nerve entrapment in the lumbar spine leading to pain.
The pain can be helped to relieved by doing simple core stability exercise, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, and lower limbs strengthening exercises.
Also doing hot water fermentation will help reduce the muscle spasm at the spine leading to release of the nerve root entrapment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
