Sciatica?: Pinching a nerve in your low back can cause pain to radiate from your knee to your ankle or foot. It could also be a problem in the knee joint itself, or even in the calf muscle. If it recurs, you should be evaluated by a doctor.

Nerve?: It may be due to a nerve entrapment from your lower back. Mri will help determine the cause but can be due from many other things.
