Suggest Remedies For Painful Burning Sensation On Outer Side Of Right Knee
Hi, I have just started to suffer with knee pain when I kneel down. The pain is on the outer side of my right knee, it feels like a burning sensation, as if I ve knelt on a button, of to the side. My knee cap doesn t hurt though. When I stand up and rub down the outside of my knee I feel as if someone is rubbing the other side of my knee at the same time??
