Dr. Lauren Elson answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Nerve irritation: The feeling in your left foot that you are experiencing is most likely an irritated nerve ( could be anywhere from the back to the foot itself) and likely is not related to the knee. If it is bothering you, see a physiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
