You need to go to the doctor to see if you have some inflammatory reactions going on in the knee and/or ankle.
Xrays and some blood work.
There is a pain syndrome that some people get when injured, even a minor sprain. It is called reflex sympathetic dystrophy and we have a forum on it as well.

Arthritis or tendonitis in the knee can refer down the leg. So you need to find out what is going on there. You can even have back problems that refer to the knee. You cannot self diagnose at this point.
Any injured nerve can be called a neuropathy. But many here have a more generalized version that attacks the whole body in some way, not just one knee and ankle. So please do get some medical evaluation to start with.
