Neuroma: If this is recent, then the burning can just be from the bruising. But if it has been a while, there is a small skin nerve around the knee that can get injured with surgery or hard falls such as this. That would cause the burning sensation. I would get it evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.

A member asked:

Slipped on ice and landed really hard on the inner side of my knee, 3 weeks ago. Bruising and swelling has gone down, but it burns every time it's touched. I can't kneel on it, this causes extreme burning/stinging sensations. Will this go away?
