Hello welcome to the health care magic

If pain occurs in particular position or movement than it could be muscular strain pain

But if you have sharp shooting pain than neurological causes should be ruled out by neurological examination

Local part examination also needed

If needed USG scan be planned

According to cause further specific treatment given

Take care

Consult nearby physician for examination and further work up accordingly
