Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the knee. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using ice compresses and rest. If the symptoms continue you should see an orthopedist and get evaluated. Your symptoms seem to be related to a pin.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
