Neuropathic pain, after getting a penetrating joint-tendon injury and subsequent stamping on the joint as it was meant to be healing and left the fuck alone. Had surgery on it, hoping to stop it locking and collapsing and causing me constant pain, it collapses a lot less but otherwise no luck with that, failure on the whole, and still in constant pain bar a shitton of opioids. Limits my mobility, always stiff and sore, and to add to that catalog of dog shit on a stick, the surgery damaged a nerve or nerves supplying both the calf muscle and the side of my leg, meaning I suffer from constant paraesthesia and neuropathic pain, which responds poorly to opioids and NSAIDs/steroids, numbness and I have to take strong muscle relaxers (I'm on 5x 4mg tizanidine/zanaflex a day, often more, to prevent contraction and spasm of my calf, without the corresponding signalling to cause the contraction to cease, basically the cramp from the blackest pits of hell, that never goes away, without heavy doses of damn strong myorelaxants. Helped atm by nitrazepam 5mg BD also, and my taking chlormethiazole doubtless doesn't hurt. So to speak. Happens in my foot on that side too, to the extent i have to sometimes stand and force the foot flat, or sandwich it between two stiff surfaces to stop my toes trying to bend double underneath my foot, bracing it, sort of.
Possible sciatic nerve trouble? Mine was bothered during a repair job to my pelvis, left acateblum, and femur. Manifests as ankle and knee weakness/tingling/numbness.
Stretching regularly helps.
