Suggest Remedy For Shooting Muscle Pain

When I touch just bellow my knee cap (left), I feel a sensation to my anterior tibialis. Almost as though a string under my skin is connecting to two areas. When I kneel, however, it sends a shooting burning pain through the muscle (anterior tibialis) that takes about 30sec to 1 min to fade away. When my leg is at rest portion of that muscle feels numb. What could this be?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
hello,
I have studied your case.Your symptoms looks like a nerve compression but there is no such nerve in that region. I would suggest you to visit a orthopaedic doctor and get it examined. Some time there can be compression on near by nerve. If your doctor thinks it is nerve related then he can get nerve compression studies like EMG/NCV. If there is doubt about nerve pathology then blood sugar and vitamin b 12 estimation can also be done. Meanwhile you can take Pregabalin M tablet at night time. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
