I was laying in bed watching tv and felt an intense burning pain that felt just like a bite on my ankle. I jumped out of bed and could not find any insects/spiders and there is no bite mark or swelling but is painful burning feeling if I run my fingers over the area

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response

This is called neuropraxia, It is a condition in which there is compression of the nerve and it causes weakness for time being but there is no permanent problem. So after some time you are as good as normal person.
I would advise you to avoid sitting in position when your knee is touching any hard surface as this is the cause of such weakness. I would also recommend you to take pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet for one month which improves muscle strength. I hope there will not be any such episode in future.
