What Causes Right-sided Knee Pain Radiating Towards Ankle After An Injury?
I fell and injured my right knee and shin almost 4 months ago. X-rays and knee MRI shows no breaks or tears, however, now I have pain in my knee, back of my knee, down my leg into my ankle, and up into my thigh. I have a s second opinion appt with another orthopedic dr, but my leg is really hurting.

Hello,
It could be a neuropathic pain secondary to nerve impingement.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
