What Causes Severe Pain From The Right Knee To The Thigh?

severe pain in R knee which runs down into my calf and up into my upper thigh. I have seen an Orthopedic surgeon and he removed 40 cc cloudy fluid from that knee and injected lidocaine and Solumedrol. That was on Monday of last week. Now my knee is hurting again and I can hardly walk due to the pain.
