Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms can be caused by veins thrombosis which has never been diagnosed or teared tendon which has never been healed property. The pain can be also a result of sciatica (sciatic nerve pain) due to its compression. With thrombosis at the beginning the calf muscle and thigh muscle becomes hard and tender when pressing it. Sciatica gives more pain radiating to the knee. No hard muscle symptom. Sciatica can be a result of spine disease or pelvis muscles inflammation.
I it advisable at your case to visit orthopedic surgeon. You should have physical examination, veins Doppler ultrasound and spine MRI.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Hello!
This for sure can be treated. You are a very young person and serious disease at your age are very rare. All mentioned diseases can be treated, you just need to find the reason of your symptoms. It is very hard to tell you exactly what you do suffer from as I am unable to even see you, or examine you. That is why I kindly ask you to visit orthopedic surgeon who has great experience in such diseases and should find a solution for you.
Hope this will help.

thank you sir , one last thing i would like to ask you that when i sustain this injury for the first time that is on 7th oct 2012 morning , sir i had been running from 1 st october of that month but incidentally i used creep bandage in my left knees tightly so that i could get the grip , but after applying it for the first time when i ran just for a minute i started feeling pain and then i strip it out .
i would like to know that it might have done the damage or it is only co incidence and it has nothing to do with injury .
thanking you sir

Hello!
It is rather hardly possible for such bandage to cause any damage. Only if it has been too tight, it could trigger blood clotting and result with veins thrombosis. But this should be applied very tight. So I dont think the bandage could be the reason of your sufferings.
Hope this will help.
