hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of your wife.

since you mentioned MRI & XRAY are done you haven't mentioned which region and what was the conclusion given by the radiologist. you didn't mention either where the steroid was given. let's assume that your wife had injury in the knee and the treatment was directed towards the knee. so now as you say she is having burning sensation that may be due to the steroid dose which is at times common. the effect of burning sensation stays for 72 hours +/-. post that the burning sensation comes down and the pain is lowered. Since you are at home you can help her by giving icing around the knee joint and it will help her to an extent by desensitizing the skin texture.

hope this helps

with the grace of God I wish your wife a speedy recovery
