Persistent lateral lower leg pains

Lateral just below the knee is where the peroneal nerve runs:

is your ankle weak ie. do you have some foot drop?

Hi,

The diagram you attached does appear to be in the region where I get a lot of the pain but I do not have foot drop. My physio has also done the usual strength tests etc. and there was no issue. I have noticed that I am starting to roll my foot onto its outer edge if I am stood for a period of time (e.g brushing my teeth) - it's not something I'm doing consciously so I can only assume its an automatic reaction to try and alleviate the discomfort.
