Brief Answer:
Need evaluation if symptoms persist.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

From what I understand you have intermittent short lasting shock like pain behind the knee. I assume you do not have any known past medical conditions and have had these symptoms in the past.

This shock like pain isn't specific to any particular knee conditions. However a few possibilities to consider are nutritional deficiency, thyroid hormone disturbance, neuropathic pain or a somatic condition. There are specific tests available to evaluate the cause and isolate it.

For now, I will encourage you to drink plenty of fluids and keep the limb rested. Over the counter pain medications may not stop recurring pain, but it may ease the pain if the pain is severe and uncomfortable. You should consider visiting a doctor if the recurrence continues.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Need evaluation.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

This type of pain is not specific to any known medical condition. As I mentioned earlier, the possibilities are multiple. We will be able to figure out the cause only through various tests.

If the symptoms hasn't resolved by now, I will recommend you visit a doctor at the earliest. You will need a careful physical examination of the limb, battery of blood tests and scans of the back / knee. Treatment is based on test results.

Hope this suffices. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to ask me.
Regards
