Severe leg and knee pain
I've been having severe pain below my knee near the joint, on the outer part of my leg with no relief. The pain comes and will last about a week but I can wear a brace and it goes away for a while. I've also noticed the muscle below that knee is much smaller by almost an inch. The pain is constant and goes almost down to my foot. This started about 2 months ago with pain in my leg and a pins and needle feeling in my foot. I don't remember hurting my knee. Any ideas what could be causing this
