What Causes Pain In The Knees Along With Numbness In The Toes?

I have right knee pain, I believe near my patella, also I have several horizontal maybe 3 to 4 inch lumps that go above my knee, which I can count about 4 or 5. I injured my knee about 20 years ago, and just babied it. It has been hurting every single day for the last couple of months. I also fell and hurt my back in 2008, which also causes low right back pain, right sciatica pain and maybe some hip pain. I have right calf pain and pain down to my right foot, and numbness to my right big toe. I also have weakness of this leg and my right foot at times my foot drags, and I have either tripped or fallen many times because of this. Can the knee problem be related to the back and leg?

Hello,

Most probably it will be a neuropathic pain.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

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