I've been building homes recently and started feeling a burning sensation in my inner left leg, like maybe I pulled a muscle. But now it's gotten worse and moved down past my knee. It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?

I've had knee pain for 10 years and been doing physiotherapy for the past year. My hip joint snaps when climbing stairs with slight pain, but the main issue is IT band pain at the knee. I do stretching and strengthening exercises regularly but don't feel much improvement. Could this condition require surgery or are there other treatment options I should consider?
