Brief Answer:
Pinched nerve more possible.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

There are different muscles and tendons in hip, knee, and ankle, so, a muscle involved in such pain is very unlikely.

This kind of pain and its distribution are mainly caused by a pinched nerve (herniated disc, spondylosis, etc.) as the nerve exits the spine.

So, please discuss with your Doctor about getting evaluated further and treated in this direction.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
