Knee Disorders: Dull aching pain in knee and also in foot?

Dull aching pain in knee and also in foot?It feels as though my left leg from my knee down is aching like i've been walking on it for days, but i have not. I also have what feels to be knot in my calf. Any suggestions as to whether or not I should be concerned?

It doesn't seem like it is very bad. The knot in you calf should be massaged all the time at least once a day. Be careful not to run around and jump. Pretty much, do little exercises with your calf. However, with your knee, I am not sure about. Ask a doctor.

You are asking about the two main pains that come from the tendons of your muscles in going to your foot. The tendons can shorten themselves up and give you pain. When you release them the pain should be gone:
Achilles tendon:
With that foot in your lap, take both your hands and place them on the back of the tendon about one inch apart at ankle level. Press the tendon hard between your fingers and thumbs and hold that pressure there. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don't tense up any part of your body. After 30 seconds slowly raise the front of your foot as far as it will go. Then remove the pressure but hold your foot there for one minute longer.
Front tendon: (shin splints)
With the leg pulled up into your lap, take the arm on the same side as the leg and wrap it around the leg just above ankle height, thumb behind the leg and fingers round the front. As your fingers go around the front and rest on your leg, they should feel the big bone down the front. When you put your fingers over the front of it and you wiggle your foot, you should feel the tendon right next to the bone. Press your fingers on it and hold. Take your other hand and bring it in from under your leg. Place your fingers so they go away from the ones already there positioning them more away from you. Again if you wiggle your foot you will find the other tendons that have to be released. Press hard on all of them and hold. Relax take a deep breath and exhale and don't tense up any part of your body. After 30 seconds, slowly lower your foot as far as it will go. Remove the pressure but hold your foot there for one minute longer.

Go see a doctor. It could be a blood-clot.
