Medial Meniscus tear leads to severe pain in the inner aspect of the knee. It is generally caused due to a twisting injury to the knee.
Meniscus tears generally do not heal on their own, and the pain fluctuates.
Next Steps
Wear a knee support. Do not bend the knee- more than 90 degrees as more bending will cause pain.
Gradually start strengthening exercises of the knee.
If the pain still continues- other alternative forms of therapy such as Platelet rich plasma(PRP) or Bone marrow aspirate concentrate(BMAC) injections can be given.
Your issue seems to be originating in the knee and not in the back. So avoid doing another MRI scan.
Hope this answers your query.
Can Video consult with me for detailed discussion about your condition or if you have any further questions.

You have two different problems
One in your knee ( meniscal injury)
And
Other problem in your lower back spine
( Mostly slipped disc or lumbar canal stenosis)
You need to consult for the sciatica/ slipped disc problem and may need to get done MRI after detailed examination.
If your knee MRI is of last year and if your problem has increased then you again have to consult and might need new MRI fir the knee , to see whether the Meniscus injury has increased further

For an electric shock like pain in leg.. you should undergo a lumbar spine MRI.. that will give us the diagnosis.
