What Causes Sharp Pain In The Left Thigh?

Every now and then maybe twice a day I get a sharp pain in my left thigh. This started about two weeks ago. When it happens it occurs without notice and feels like someone is sticking an ice pick in my thigh or like a jolt of electricity. It usually lasts for only a second or two then completely goes away. On a scale of 1 to 10 the pain is about a 7.

Hi,

It sounds like a nerve pain. You should consult a neurologist. Nerve pain in the legs mostly come from the disc disease.
