Several months ago Istarted experiencinge a pain down the outside of my right leg. I feel it is a nerve problem, as it feels like an electrical charge shoots from my knee up & downward. Sometimes I can trigger it by rubbing my outer thigh, but haven t noticed anything else trigger it. . I am 69 years old . have a very active life style. I have a history of RA, kept under control with Methotrexate & Plaquinal for the last 25 years. I Recently changed jobs, so insurance has not started yet. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi,

I recommend to have an MRI on your knee and back, to exclude any organic lesion to your knee. Meanwhile, you can take vitamin B12 amp, to ease this pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
