What Causes Burning Sensation From Knees To Ankles?
Question: I have fallen twice in the last two days. At night while in bed I have sensed a burning sensation from my knees to my ankles for two months Also, I feel that my center of gravity is off balance.
Brief Answer:
This could be serious. Underlying cause needs to be evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Falls at your age can be serious. The underlying cause needs to be looked into. The effect of the falls also needs to be evaluated. The balance problem could be problems involving your cerebellum (the part of brain at the back of the head) or the vestibulocochlear apparatus (located in the inner ear). You need a thorough neurological assessment. I would strongly insist you to visit your doctor for the same.
I would insist you to drink plenty of water and fluids.
Let me know if I could help further.
