What Causes Shooting Pain In The Thigh Muscles?
Question: I experienced a shooting pain up the inside of my left thigh, which woke me out of a sleep last evening; the pain and pulsing went to my left arm. Also feel nauseous.
Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle cramp.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The sharp shooting pan that you had could be related to a muscle cramp. Sometimes, it can be due to dehydration, muscle fatigue or electrolyte abnormalities. It is better to drink sufficient fluid and also see that your intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium ) is sufficient. You can drink Oralyte for this.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Can be due to electrolyte imbalance.
