hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you has a history of electric shock go up you leg and now the numbness in ankle and shin region, this is a classical symptom of pinched nerve in the lumbar spine and needs a thorough assessment and an MRI to assess the level of soft tissues within the spinal column.
Also, physical therapy will be of choice to improve the spine stability, core strengthening, spine muscle strengthening, lower limb strengthening.
In our clinical practice, we provide evidence based treatment and majority of patients with similar complains do have pinched nerve where they respond well to physical therapy.
