What Causes Pain In Leg?

Hello, I have pain in my leg that seems to be starting at the outside of my knee. When I bend my knee or touch the outside of my knee it causes pain to shoot to my ankle and radiate up to my hip. I currently have a small but deep wound on my shin that became infected (I have had my stitches out for 1 week and I am on antibiotics) and want to make sure that this new development is not related to the infection.
