Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pulsating pain just below the knee . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sciatica , bursitis , chondromalacia patella , deep vein thrombosis , fibromyalgia , herniated disk , torn meniscus , muscle cramp or peripheral neuropathy .

I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to thigh and knee , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Also apply warm compresses on back several times a days .
