What causes burning on the back of the legs and sometimes sharp pains in the knees
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nondiagnostic: Without more information these symptoms are nondiagnostic and could be due to muscular or vein problems. Sharp knee pains can have different causes also. If your symptoms are frequent consult your Physician who may refer you to a rheumatologist, neurologist or vascular surgeon depending on your detailed history and physical examination findings.
