Common Questions and Answers about Knee injury burning sensation

knee

Avatar f tn Are you still numb? I have a nerve injury in a knee that left my knee numb. (Don't try Bengay or anything like that it'll be very painful!) I've lived with this for over a year. I experience burning or a cold water drop when I'm lying down. Wish I knew how to remedy it or what it is. I've just been living with it.
Avatar n tn The burning, hurting, sensitive sensation with like a tiny balloon filled with water from mid knee up has been bothering me for like 4 weeks now. Two days after the initial fall it got injured again when I was pushed into a bus landing on same knee because people can't wait until there turn. So this second injury only made matters worse. The burning, when the knee is bent, like when your sitting in a chair burns so bad my eyes starts to tear. I think you got the idea.
1330225 tn?1275218398 This condition is called meralgia paraesthetica which manifests itself as pain, tingling or burning sensation of knee. It may occur due to injury to nerve either due to spinal deformity or along its path to thigh by any ligament or tendon stretch, excessive tight clothing (therefore it is also called "jeans disease"), diabetic neuropathy or damage to nerve after surgery etc. Another nerve which may cause pain in legs is sciatic nerve compression.
Avatar m tn Burning sensation, numbness or tingling sensation in any part of body is considered nerve related in origin. This burning sensation you are having can occur due to impingement, irritation or compression of nerve at knee. Most frequently involved nerve is lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh (which is branch of femoral nerve). This condition is called meralgia paraesthetica which manifests itself as pain, tingling or burning sensation of outer thigh.

Avatar f tn You need to check with the orthopaedician for ruling out a pinched nerve sural or saphenous nerve branch being impinged in the knee joint. Since burning sensation is positional with reference to the knee joint. You might need corticosteroids and physical therapy. Rule out diabetes and B12 deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn I have a constant burning sensation and soreness around my right knee particularly where the thigh muscle joins the leg. There is also a constant soreness on the bottom edge of my knee, just above the tibia. It has been like this for over a week following a run and has not improved significantly in that time. It is somewhat uncomfortable, but not painful to bend my leg. If is painful to flex my leg muscle, which I notice more when extending my leg. The pain level is bearable.

Avatar m tn My penis has been feeling uncomfortable ever since. A little bit hurt, some burning sensation inside my penis tube, from the base to somewhere in the middle of the tube. I also have some pain in my left testicle and left lower abdomen, and left groin area. All symptoms still there now. No bumps or blisters found. I got tested for chlamydia and gonerriha 5 days and 12 days after exposure, all came back negative.
Avatar n tn Given your symptoms you may want to have the knee looked at by a doctor now, maybe some xrays taken, for starters. You might have a number of issues going on at the same time. This I know, speaking from fractures in my patella and tibial plateau in the past...You need your knees for a LONG time. Take care of them like you would your eyes. Knee surgery has been the most difficult and lengthy to rehab of all of mine. You don't realize HOW much you use your knees til you hurt one.
Avatar n tn These symptoms are suggestive of meralgia paraesthetica, which is numbness or pain in the outer thigh not due to any injury but due to injury to the nerve extending from thigh to spinal column. This disorder usually involves lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh. You would require an electromyogram to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment would include weight loss if obese, loose clothing, NSAIDs, pain modifying drugs for neuropathic pain. Consult with a neurologist at the earliest. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Hi! I'm sorry to hear about your knee. It sounds to me like either a ligament or possibly cartilage. Does it feel unstable or is it still giving out on you? Does it ache after sitting for long amounts of time? Is your pain off to the side of the knee or under your knee cap? These answers may help me know better.
Avatar f tn I can't get into the orthopedic doctor for 12 days. It is burning from the inside of my knee down into my calf, when I sit with knee bent. What can I do in the interim to alleviate this?
Avatar m tn upon leaving they gave me a foam knee brace and sent me on my way. When I got home and tried on the knee brace I found out it was way to large (XXL) to the point of it being almost comical (I'm 130 lbs., maybe if I was a NFL running back it would fit.
Avatar f tn My knee was swollen and there was just a burning sensation. I waited about a week to see if the swelling went down. When it didn't, I went and saw my priamry care physician. He referred me to a orthopedic specialist. My right knee was causing much pain on the outside area, and when I would walk it felt like my knee would try to slip out of joint. Like the outter area of my knee was pulling it out. I went and saw a specialist, they took an x-ray and didn't see any damage.
2068034 tn?1331246788 So I have a question, my Mother who is 76, had a rt TKR last May 2011. Her only complaint is a burning sensation off to the right of her knee. It feels like "fire ants" biting her she states. No one else mentions this. I know what MD's state and my own opinion but I'm curious has anyone else out there experienced this problem off to the side of the knee or anywhere around the TKR gadget internally? Not burning on the incision site or skin topically.
Avatar f tn Hello dear and welcome to the medhelp forum. This wet or cool sensation in the knee is a part of paresthesiae, which could be secondary to many conditions. These are due to physical injury to the nerve like entrapped nerve or some direct pressure to the nerve or its spinal attachment. This sensation can also accompany diseases affecting nerves like neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, alcoholism and herpes zoster.
Avatar n tn ve had every sensation from water dripping to water splashing, like when you feel the light spray from the hose, cold sensation, crawling and tingling, burning, cold etc..They are very disturbing. I've had them from head to toe. I never could tell whether there was really water there or not. Most of the time it was just paresthesias.
Avatar f tn The groin pain is constant with a burning sensation. No problems when lifting leg straight up. Pain is intense when leg is lifted out to the left and up. I do have some mild arthritis in the outer left hip region. I have been told I have a hip problem and will need hip replacement eventually. It feels like a nerve. Burning pain, in groin area, intensifies when I walk alot. I have had 2 injections in the left hip, to no avail. I take anti-imflamitories, to no avail.
Avatar f tn Another question... I have a torn lateral meniscus and a 1/2 inch by 1 inch cyst on my lateral meniscus. My doctor has never seen an injury like this before so i cant really ask him any questions about it, and my appt. with an ortho. isnt for about another week. So the question is ...
Avatar f tn I feel walking up the stairs and hit my knee real hard ever since then my knee has this burning sensation especially when my knee touches anything. It hurt real bad! But it isn't a constant pain. What is wrong?
Avatar f tn Pain in the front portion of the knee can be caused by bursitis (inflammation of the lining of the joint, possible due to injury while playing), arthritis, or injury to the patella cartilage (front portion of the knee). Pain on either sides of the knee is usually related to meniscal tears, injuries to the collateral ligaments, and even to arthritis. Pain in the back of the knee can be caused by arthritis or Bakers cysts (cystic accumulation of synovial fluid, also causes a swelling).
Avatar n tn Usually experienced from lower back, radiating towards the thigh and knee. Long standing diabetes also increases the predilection for burning sensation in legs. The affected nerve leads to pain, numbness, burning sensation in legs etc., other condition is blood clot formation in any of the deep blood vessels present in leg may also cause burning sensation in legs at night. This is deep vein thrombosis.
Avatar n tn I also noticed intermittent pain on top of my right knee. Again, there is no injury there and it is not joint pain. I am male, 50 yrs of age. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/199935'>Heat Sensation Lower back area</a>.
Avatar f tn I have the same thing the burning sensation after TKR around the knee cap area and the under the knee. Did you find the solution for this?
