Dear thanks for choosing hcm.

It is because of compressed nerve. You have back pain too. This back pain and electric shock in leg are related. Bone problem in back is giving you pain and same bone problem is compressing your nerve.

Visit an orthopaedic expert. Pain killers, physiotherapy will cure you. Rarely you may require a surgery.

Hit a thanks if benefited. Please write to hcm for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Thank you
