All pain down the leg need not be sciatica. Facet joints (side of the spine) some gluteal muscles could bring about similar symptoms. Also the sacroiliac joint(tail bone area) could bring such symptoms.
To rule out the knee, straightening and bending of the knee need to be full range without pain.
The foot, if there is flat foot it could lead up the structures above. This could also bring on pain in these areas
You need a Musculoskeletal and Sports physiotherapist assessment.

It can be due to nerve compression.
Need to do proper evaluation.
Also use pain relieving gel like volini gel or diclofenac gel.
Use ice pack or hot water bag three times a day 10 min-15min.
Try to do exercises regularly for back and knees.
To slight stretching as well.
