What Causes Burning Sensation On The Outer Part Of Knee?
I have a burning, stinging sensation on the outer part of my right knee; the burning, stinging discomfort is fairly localized and occurs only upon flexing, not to the touch. The knee itself is just a little sore and there is no swelling, discoloration or other visual aspects. Is this some kind of nerve irritation? What do you think?

Hi, as you described your conern. Slight impingement of nerve causes altered sensation in leg. this nerve impingment can be from you vertebral column or may be it can be due to piriformis mucle tightness which is one of glutes muscle. You should consult your doctor and must get a sugar test. some time raised sugar level also cause altered sensation. Good luck
