What Causes Sharp Shooting Pain In The Knees That Radiates To Arms And Shoulders?

I have had this sharp shooting pain in my knees that radiates up towards my hips but not into them, this started about 2 weeks ago. Now I am still having the keen pain but it seems to have traveled to my elbow and shoots up my arm towards my shoulder , but not into the shoulder. Both pains are on my right extremities.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Are you a smoker. It can cause such sensation called parasthesia. I would also suggest you to get your serum B 12 estimation as lack of vitamin B12 causes tingling and numbness and burning in feet. I would also suggest you to get vitamin D estimation and serum calcium level. Till that time you finished with all those investigation i would recommend you to take Pregabalin M tablet
