Nerve: Sounds like you may have some pressure on the the nerves that go to your foot, like the peroneal nerve. Have you had an injury to the lateral part of your knee or leg? Sat in a position to increase pressure over that same area? Wore a knee brace or protective gear while skating, or playing sports?
