hi
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment and musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you have a numbness in the later aspect of the thigh, this could be related to the pinched nerve in the spine as to assess this a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised post which if needed an MRI will be guided.
Also, for you pain in knee a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is guided post which if needed than an MRI to detect the soft tissue status needs to be viewed.
Based on the diagnosis, with simple medication and physical therapy should help you much better.
Usually, if vitamin D medicine is taken, it should act in 7 days of time, if it doesnt than need of sunbath is advised. if still the pain and numbness persist than the MRI comes to existence.
I see cases with such numbness and such, but the problem I usually confirm from the pinched nerve in the spine and vitamin D is just a deficiency and may not give major symptoms. I advice my patient physical therapy and they respond well.
