my knee does this and the pain goes into my shin on my right leg. i have lidocaine that i put on there when it get bad. have you tried any OTC things like icy hot.
have you been tested for arthritis?
my hip was feeling sortof like that and they did an MRI, found arthritis.
has it been going on long? i think from lack of enough movement all my joints are more painful.
hope any of this helps or you find some relief.
welcome to the group. i don't think we've met. :)

I have nerve pain in my left leg plus feet problems I just had one foot surgery to fix the hole that gets beat down if you are on your feet alot. It has helped alot and I need to go and get the other one done. I would go to the foot doctor and have him take a look I thought it was something big with my feet which does make legs hurt and all he needed to do was put a stent in my foot

Nerve pain is something totally different animal and there are some meds that help ease the pain and some exercise will help it settle down throughout the day

I have alot of knee pain after standing or not moving for awhile. Then I go to stand up and they almost buckle right out from underneath me. I also have pain in my shins, it almost feels like someone is splitting the bone in half. I do suffer from inflammatory arthriits and fibromyalgia, both of which have left me pretty immobile the last few months.
Like serenity said, have you been tested for anythng yet? If not, I would start with your doc and see if you can find out what is going on. Knowing the problem can help you figure out how to fix it.
I haven't met you yet either so welcome to our group and we hope to continue to see you around!

Gentle hugs,

Jenna
