Injured Leg, Pain During Walking, Radiating Up, Charlie Horse Type Cramping. Sciatica?
I injured my leg ,behind myright knee in July by over extending in straightened position. If I do too much walking or standing He begins to throb. At night laying down the pain seems to radiate up and down my leg including 'charlie horse' type cramping..Is this sciatica? the pain does not continue to my lower back but seems to end at the joint between my hip and thigh.

Hi, it appears to be the tears of the ligaments of the knee joint, or the muscles in that area. Might have resulted to the arthritis of the knee. For sciatica the possibility is very less, or no possibility.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for confirmation. Thank you.
