I think you may be having nerve compression at spine, so it would be better if you see a spine specialist. He may ask you to get MRI of your spine to check whether you are having nerve compression or not. If report come positive than you may to need take gabapentin and methylcobal tablets. I still consider if nothing comes on mri than you need to get x ray of knee if there is some proven with knee that is causing all these issues.
