Hello,
It is possible that you may be suffering from arthritis or tendinitis or tarsal tunnel syndrome etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Also, possible with lumbar spondylosis with compressive neuropathy.
Get it done X-ray of knee joints, hip joint with thyroid status is useful.
Use tablet Pregabalin M.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician/orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
