I have the same sort of issue. I have severe lumbar stenosis, and all pain is being attributed to that, while I am sure that the pain in the outside of my ankle and calf is unrelated. I am going to see a pain specialist this week; am hoping he will be more willing to explore other causes. If not, am likely headed to an acupuncturist, as I was able to stop the ankle pain temporarily simply by putting pressure for about a minute on the worst spot.
