Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 57 yr old male that for the last few years gets an occasional and sudden pain in my leg. In just isolated spots on my leg, I will get a pain that feels like I am getting pricked by a pin. It lasts for a few seconds then goes away. That will occur for maybe half an hour then go away for days or even weeks. Any thoughts??
