What Causes Severe Pain In Knees?

default
Posted on Wed, 5 Feb 2014
Question: Hi - I have a searing burning pain in my knee. It's my right knee on the knobbly bit on the side which I think is my fibula? It doesn't hurt when I walk or exercise, but when I kneel or put any direct pressure on it, e.g. when I climb in to bed, the pain takes my breath away. It's a sharp burning pain and takes a few minutes to subside. Any ideas what this might be? Thanks very much in advance!
