Hello,
Pain in knee going down to ankle can be due to compression of spinal nerves. Compression of spinal nerve can cause pain in the area of distribution. I suggest you to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
