Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

Shooting pain in legs is not a common symptom after knee injury until unless there is stretching or compression of nerve supplying to leg.You should also rule out other reason like compression of nerve in back,stretching of nerve during injury ,etc.If you are already having diabetes or high blood pressure then this pain can be due to diabetes or high blood pressure.I used to prescribe combination of tramadol with paracetamol for these symptoms.

Hope this will also help you.

With best wishes.
