Question 1

i sprained my knee , yes i do wear a brace , but even if i'm not wearing it my knee hurts and burns a lot when i walk on it or when i bend ?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Knee pain is tricky especially if you are young and athletic. Although breaking bones can happen usually it is the soft structures like the cartilage, the ligaments, the tendons that can cause pain when bending and extending. I would suggest a face to face exam. Your doctor can then recommend the proper test which may include an X ray or an MRI. Good luck.

Question 2

right knee pain fell in twice between 2011/12 on knee. burns and hurts to bend after standing for short periods of time. cause? hist: htn & pcos

Accepted Answer

Have knee evaluated: With the history of trauma, you want to be sure there are no tears in the knee. It is best to have it evaluated, preferably by an orthopedist. An MRI may be necessary.

Question 3

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: It would be helpful to know where your knee hurts and if you have any other symptoms.  For now ice and ibuprofen. If it worsens you may need to see a doctor. Better to get problems fixed now than when you are trying to run in battle, take this from an old Air Force doc.

Question 5

i hurt on the outside of my knees it stings and burns what's up?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Lateral (outer) knee pain common causes include arthritis, knee-cap problems, lateral meniscal tear, itb syndrome, bursitis, lateral ligament complex injury, loose bodies, fracture and bone bruise. Rarely, popliteus tendinitis and peroneal nerve can cause lateral sided symptoms. Remember, the low back can also refer pain to the outside of the knee.

Question 6

my girfreind is having pain behind her knee at the caf muschle it burns sometimes and hurts what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Bursitis?: The area behind the knee has lots of structures, such as various muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and fluid filled sacs called "bursa". It's possible that in inflammation of the bursa "bursitis" is rubbing on the tibial nerve causing the pain. If this is the case, rest and ice (nore more than 15 minutes at a time) can help, as well as ibuprophen if you can take it.

A doc can evaluate further.

Question 7

the injury to my right knee constantly burns & on the inside is a knot approx the size of a 50 cent piece. i also get sharp, intense pain in this area?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: This could be arthritis, a tear or bursitis. See an orthopedist.

Question 8

what is the ideal room temperature and leg temperature for a crps affected knee!? constantly feel cold and then burns hot. just wanted to know. thanks

Accepted Answer

CRPS or RDS is a: complex pain syndrome that doctors and scientists do not understand well.  Sure we have treatments for it, but they are not very successful overall and offers no curative intent.  Ideal ambient temperature is no different than what your house room temperature should be - 68 to 75 degrees F.  I hope you are getting proper treatment for pain relief.   And thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 9

why does my knee pains and burns when i stand? i work long hours standing, typically continuous standing 2 hours or dis-continuous standing 9 hours. 6 days a week. i have started to feel pain in my knee while standing and sitting down any time now?

Accepted Answer

: Your knee symptoms could be considered an occupational disease which is due to prolonged standing. Problem could be originating from the involved knee but it could be from the ipsilateral hip or from the spine disease. You should see an orthopedist. Changing job with less prolonged standing should be considered. Good luck.

Question 10

can 2nd degree burns on the knee cause swelling in the ankles?

Accepted Answer

See below : Any traumatic injury to the lower limb whether blunt trauma or burn can elicit an increase in fluid retention at the levels of the ankle.   Could it be coincidental that your having fluid buildup in your ankles at the same time most definitely.    Your lymphatic system which aids in keeping fluid levels balanced in your legs and ankles can always be affected by a sudden injury.
