Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What causes the burning sensation in my knees ? Almost continuous. Tolerable during the day, but condition deteriorates at nighttime causing loss of sleep. No obvious signs of swelling of the knees, nor any discolouration in that area. I am female. Age 72.
As you are 72 we can expect some degenerative changes in the knee joint and this may be leading to the burning sensation. I will advise for knee x-ray or MRI will be more good.
Also using hot water fermentation and doing simple exercises like static Quadriceps and static hamstring should help regain the knee strength and avoid unusual burning sensation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
