Severe knee pain with physiotherapy is common (e.g., arthritis, injury, or overuse), but new dark patches on your ankle joint with severe pain are concerning and likely point to a vascular or skin issue rather than just the knee problem. The most likely cause is venous stasis dermatitis (from chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins) — this causes brownish/dark discoloration (from iron deposits/hemosiderin), pain, swelling, and itching around the ankles. It’s very common in people with leg issues and can worsen with reduced mobility from knee pain/physio. • Cellulitis (bacterial infection): Possible if the area is suddenly very red, hot, swollen, tender, and you have fever/chills — but dark/brown patches alone (without bright red spread) make this less likely. Cellulitis is often misdiagnosed when it’s actually stasis dermatitis. • Peripheral artery disease (PAD): Less likely here — PAD usually causes pale/bluish/cold skin, hair loss, pain on walking (claudication), not dark patches or severe local pain at rest. • Varicose veins: Often linked — they can lead to the stasis changes you describe. This needs professional check-up soon, as untreated venous issues can lead to ulcers or infection.
