What Causes Stabbing Pain Between The Knee And Ankle?

Hello, I am having a problem with my right leg. I have a very small localized spot that hurts a lot when touched but only sometimes. When I use my legs a lot, like for running, jumping, or walking, the pain hurts there and/or spreads to anywhere from my knee to my ankle along the right side of my leg. The pain ranges from acute and strong stabbing pain that s usually more localized, to a more spread out ones and needles kind of numb pain that hurts less. There is no swelling or redness. The area where the pain is localized has slight discoloration like a bruise. I think it might be some kind of nerve issue. I m almost positive it is not a muscle or bone problem. I m female, 22, about 135 pounds and 5 5

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having stress fracture as you are doing much jogging etc. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You are advised to take rest for nearly 2-3 weeks. Avoid any kind of exercises and walking to get relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
