Question 1

what causes burning sensation in legs from the knee down?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Most commonly caused by diabetes. Several other conditions, including medication side effects can do this as well.

Question 2

i feel dizzy sometimes and have burning sensation to my legs from knee down. my bp and uric acid levels are normal. what may have caused them?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: There is no clear diagnosis at present. The uric acid is not related I think. The  Blood  pressure can be related to the dizziness but you say it is  normal. This  may be related to medications, your kidney function or other things. This will be something your physician can help clarify

Question 3

pain and burning sensation behind the knee radating down to calf on right leg?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: If you can feel or palpate a fullness behind your knee this may be a baker's cyst. These put pressure on the structures behind the knee such as nerves, tendons, or blood vessels. The symptoms arise from the pressure. Surgery may be required.

Question 4

i have a burning sensation in my left knee which radiates down my medial lower leg. how do i treat it?

Accepted Answer

May in fact: be your BACK ..that is a pinched nerve between the 4th and 5th LUMBAR vertebrae.....You should discuss with your Primary Care  (G.P etc) who may decide to obtain advanced imaging of your spine  ( eg: MRI)  Just a thought...hope it is helpful!

Question 5

Question 7

what cause a burning sensation in lower leg right below the knee . the burning sensation  comes and goes.  it's not swellon or warm to touch.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Answer depends on lots of information that we don't have. How long have you had it? When does it occur?  Do you have any other medical problems? This is the sort of question best answered after an in-depth history &amp; exam.  Unless, after tracking the pain, you can relate it to an activity (certain exercise, prolonged sitting/standing in a certain position or chair) or a particular style of shoe.

Question 8

i'm having serious stressed legs pains from my knees down to my ankles. sometimes it's like chronic burning sensation.  i have no idea what this is !?

Accepted Answer

Burning Nerve pain: Generally, burning is nerve pain, but not always. Stressed legs? Assume this means after being on your feet? You may have a nerve entrapment, either @ the inside of the ankle (tarsal tunnel), around the knee (common peroneal nerve or the tibial nerve @ the soleus sling behind the knee), or may be coming from your back, with pressure on nerves exiting the spinal column. You need through examination.
