What Does Pain Below The Left Knee Indicate?

I have nerve pain below my left knee. The pain is so horrible. I have seen doctors and just started on Lyrica Feb 12th this year. Have been in so much pain for 5 an a half years but 10 an a half years total. I need some help so bad!! I can not find any doctor that really cares an is willing to really help me. I don t want to take medicine.I do not sit down. I do not go out to eat. I have stood up in church for almost 5 years!!! If I sit I will have nerve pain!! The Lyrica helped after taking it a month I had 10 days without pain!!! What a blessing!!! But then it started again! So went back to neurologist yesterday raised Lyrica and is sending me to Roanoke. Please somebody help me!!!!!!!!! Can you??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You didn't mention your age. Plus if the knee pain is so severe, then empiric treatment alone is not enough. An MRI should be advised to determine the cause.

Wishing you best of health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
