Clot? Infection?: Does "from knee going down" mean swelling and soreness of the lower leg? If so, this could be thrombophlebitis (blood clot in your leg) or cellulitis (skin infection). If the knee itself is swollen and painful, maybe some kind of arthritis. Presumably no injury, right? Any of these could be serious, so don't take chances: see a doctor ASAP. Do it immediatley if pain is severe or if any fever.
