Get it evaluated: It is possible that those symptoms are due to a peroneal nerve irritation. It needs to be evaluated.

Paresthesia: Paresthesia is a funny feeling usually due to a neurological problem, either peripherally (with the nerve itself) or centrally (in the brain). See a neuroloist for diagnosis and treatment.
