A member asked:
Feels like a heavy pressure on the front of the knee below the kneecap and burning pain on the sides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: There are various causes of knee pain. I assume that there has been no recent injury. Possibilities include tendonitis,bursitis, repetitive stress on the knee, chondromalacia or softening of cartilage under the kneecap,arthritis. Internal knee problems like cartilage or ligament issues are less likely. If resting the knee and taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen don't help, see MD
