Believe it or not, it may be sciatica. If you lie on your back, with a pillow under your knees--and put heat under the back of the knee, you may find some temporary relief. However, you probably need to visit a doctor or physical therapist to relieve the issue.

Can a knee strap or knee brace fix crooked knees?
I'm a teen and I've dislocated my knee twice. Usually, when your knee is crooked it's just where your patella sits. People with bad knees, their knees sit lower on the bone than normal. It's not actually 'fixable' unless it's swelling or broken. A knee strap and brace will help with support but not the actual physical look.

How are the tibia and fibula connected?
The Tibia and fibula are the only bones connecting knee and ankle. The tibia is the main weight bearing bone. The Fibula provides the top attachments for the muscles which raise the foot pivoting at the ankle. Also muscles for raising and straightening the toes. The Tibia also has the top attachments for the main muscles of the calf which enable one to walk tip-toe with the foot pivoted down at the ankle. Again 'Weight-bearing'. With a smashed Fibula you could still walk if willing. Probably not with a smashed Tibia. Tibia also is a blood cell factory inside the marrow.
