What Causes Shock In My Left Leg While Doing Squats And Leg Press?

Hey, I have a problem with my right leg and also my traps. So since november or december i was working out doing squats and leg press and i felt a shock in my left leg, i didnt think of much untill it went a bit numb. After that i told my wrestling coach and he sent me to see an osteo and they said it is a nerve pinch and said it is fine. I continued the rest of my wrestling season and didnt feel any shocks cause i didnt workout in the gym during the season that much. But now the season has finished and im back in the gym, when i squated today i felt a shock in my right leg and also i felt a little shock in my trap. The leg didnt really go numb but my trap sorta did.So now im super scared and wondering if this is something you guys have seen or know anything about.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you are suffering from PIVD which simply means that, you have disc problem impinging on your cord, please do not repeat it again and again , as repeated episodes, will cause you to keep the disc herniated and would prevent its going back to space, Take some rest and than under guidance of a good physio start spinal muscle building exercises, so that this does not reoccur. Avoid lifting heavy wights, and stop your gym at present and only resule after your doctors advise.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
