Pain from back to knee postpartum

I am 3 months postpartum, from 7-8 months of pregnancy I was experiencing pain in my back left side ,  I'm not able to lift my back in a lying position. After delivery it worsened and now I have pain in my knee on the same side. It causes pain when I move my knee. I think there is some nerve problem from the back up to knees . If I sleep straight I will not be able to move the ankle too and knee. I am taking calcium supplement BONE SURE LC and MOKTEL prescribed by my gynaecologist. Now what should I do ? Is it go with time or should I start any exercise or meet with any doctor? Which doctor should I connect with : physiotherapist or orthopedic?

Cooler fell on foot

My heavy cooler fell near my ankle and it's swollen there . It's been more than week and I don't think swelling is reducing much . I guess I used crepe bandage and sumo gel to reduce swelling . I can easily walk and even play Badminton . Maybe when I rotate my ankle it hurts .

Knee Osteoarthritis query

Last year my mother started to have knee pain in her left knee. Took her to an ortho doctor, x ray showed knee osteoarthritis and he prescribed medicines but didn't help much. He suggested surgery but mother wanted to try physiotherapy. She's only had a few sessions but physiotherapy has helped. My query is few months before her knee pain started she was hospitalised for kidney stones. After the stones were removed, doctor changed her diabetic medicines. Instead of taking Cerapin xr 500 during breakfast and dinner he prescribed Trajenta 5 during breakfast and Gluconorm SR 850 during dinner. I read Trajenta 5 side effect can cause joint pain. Can any doctor verify this? My mother doesn't have any visible swelling or redness in the knees.
