It doesn't sound normal to me, but it sounds like nerve pain. Were you getting it when you were signed off and did,your consultant give any indication of what it might be or what might help? Maybe see someone unconnected for a second opinion? I think that's what I'd be inclined to do.

Sounds like nerve pain , I was told to massage knee and touch it as much as possible to help prevent this pain from staying . Dont know if you try and do it now ? Maybe after taking some painkillers ?
