What could cause the severe pain below the knee?
Patient: I am 71 yr old male, still very active.  My left leg below the knee along the boneand before the ankle has been giving me a sort of electric sharp pain . This starts and stops fequently.  the skin is very sensetive but no discolor.This condition started out very mildly , but has become much worse. This morning I woke up with the pain ans it keeps reacurring every few min. Do you have any idea what can be the cause.  Hopefully yours Ronald Filera.  email  YYYY@YYYY  . Tel 845-215-5007.

Osteoarthritis of the proximal and distal joint.2. Varicose veins3. Arterial insufficiency.4. Diabetic neuropathy.So, i sincerely suggest you to kindly consult your nearest geriatric physician.
