Does Fluid In The Knee Cause Burning Sensation?
I fell on my knee on a tile floor about 4 weeks ago and begin feeling a burning sensation in my knee for about 2 weeks now. I ve had an xray and there are no broken bones. I ve also had an MRI done and was told there was fluid on my knee but didn t see anything else ( primary physician ) Can fluid on my knee cause the burning sensation?

Hello,
What I can infer from your complaints is that you are having fluid in your joint secondary to your twisting injury to knees.
Usually, there is blood collection which disappears within 6 weeks. You need not be alarmed as MRI shows only fluid connection.
I suggest you to take it easy for 6 weeks and report to your physician if the pain or swelling increases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
