It's probably not your knee or shin. I had same lateral lower leg pain, and it was from the glut issue. (By the way, I'm a physician.) When pain resolved post-shock therapy, the lower leg pain resolved. Occam's Razor: Go with the simplest explanation.

@spillihped I really appreciate your reply. I got a cortisone injection in my pfl tendon sheath for diagnostic purposes. I walk out of the dr office smiling ear to ear , no pain! That was 2 days ago pain has subsided but not gone completely. I’m thinking it will take some time to take effect. I had glute minimus and medius surgery to repair partial tears , cleared out the greater trochanter bursa and poked my IT band. Tough recovery. It’s been 3 months since the surgery. Still got the pain in the hip, but I was told it will take 2 year full recovery. I’m grateful I’m finally able to walk with out crutches. The knee and shin problem was baffling but it’s good to here I’m not the only one suffering from pain there, best of luck to you!
