The pain is mostly in the knee but radiates down to the ankle. When I stand, the knee, or leg, gives and won't allow pressure. I feel the cold deep inside from my knee to the ankle. This has happened before a couple of weeks ago and it was just about identical to this pain. I do not have diabetes. This leg was broken and had surgery in 1986 but I've not really had problems before, just minor swelling in the foot. The doctor said I would always have that. I do believe I have some arthritis though.

Brief Answer:
Likely to be osteoarthritis

Detailed Answer:
Yes, you probably have osteoarthritis which is a result of wear and tear. It is more often following trauma and occurs first on injured leg.
Please check for vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis.
