It can be due to two reasons. It can be nerve compression at spine or it can be meniscus injury to knee. I think it is better if you get an MRI done for your spine first. If there is a disc prolapse than it can be treated accordingly. If MRI is normal than you will be tension free. I also want to advice you against cold temperature in morning time.
