Could This Be From the Hip?

jcaesar, the knee and the hip share common nerve pathways. Is there any reason the knee has escaped suspicion. Can you describe the pain. Is it dull and constant. Is there any position or activity during which the pain worse. Are there less dominant pain symptoms elsewhere.

The knee has escaped suspicion since, by itself there's no pain at all in the knee. It's all in the shin below the knee. No, it's not dull, it's very sharp and while not constant, it is there, in varying degrees, all of the time. There's no time when she's completely pain free. Although not always the case, sitting is generally worse, while moving around helps. As to less dominant pain symptoms, it's the R hip but that's definitely the lesser pain as compared to the agony of the anterior shin.
