Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my leg has been hurting from my knee to my ankle for 6 weeks it was feeling better today still hurt but not as bad, then i took a step up a hill and on the outside of my leg next to my knew was a big crack or pop, now it hurts so bad i can hardly walk!!
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
