After 2 months of symptoms you must be evaluated by a physician for diagnosis & treatment. Since there's no leg swelling or ankle edema, I doubt that phlebitis is present, but an orthopedic specialist will check you for that also. A knee problem could be causing muscular symptoms in the thigh & lower leg as well.

It may be a cyst behind the knee. If it has been present for that period of time it would beneficial to get it checked out
