hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As your gp told it is scistica I agree with him. As this symptoms of pain below the knee in the lateral side of the leg is due to the pinched nerve in the lumbar spine and needs a thorough clinical examination.
This pain can be reduced by making the core stability exercises and later on lower limb strengthening exercises.
