Anyone been cured yet?

I have been reading all of the posts.  I too have been having a sharp shooting pain just above my knee on my right thigh.  It started about four months ago after i started to use new "made for me" insoles.  At first it was once a week, then it was every few days, then it was everyday, some days there would be several.   I have had MRIs, x-rays and ultra sounds.  I have been to a chiropractor, orthapedic surgeon, and just today a neurologist.  No one can find any reason for these pains.  They can come at any time, day or night, sitting, standing, laying, moving.  They last about 5-10 seconds.   The doctor today put me on gabapentin.  He thinks I may have injured a nerve at some point.  

Have any of you been able to resolve your sharp pains?

Hi there. This sounds like a nerve irritation due to compression or injury. MRI spine could be reviewed for any bony spur, canal stenosis and degenenerative disc disease, and which each could cause compressive radiculopathy of the nerve, roots as it exits the neural foramina. This could be nerve irritation at a lower level and a possible injury. The insoles could be causing postural disturbance and nerve irritation. Apart from the investigations already done, you need to undergo a nerve velocity conduction NCV study for assessment of nerve damage. Meanwhile gabapentin is fine for the neuropathic pain. Hope this helps. Take care.

Is it true that nerves that are pinched will die off and others grow out and away from the pinched area?
