General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

May I know your age? Sudden sharp pain could be due to vitamin D3 deficiency wherein there can be a pain in the lower extremities.

Also, it is advisable to consult an orthopedician to rule out any corns on the foot that could cause it along with vitamin D3 levels and calcium levels in the blood.

Any history of previous injury or fall should also be considered. As of now consulting an orthopaedician is very important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
