Having Noticed A Sharp Burning Sensation On The Knee Cap

Hi, I fell directly on my right knee 2 weeks ago. Since I have this sharp burning sensation underneath my knee cap area. I only have pain when pressure is applied to this specific spot. I don not feel pain when squatting, running,walking. Only when pressure is applied underneath right knee cap.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic .
I read your question and I understood your concern.
I think the cause of the origin of your pain might be what we call patellofemoral chondromalacia or early arthritis.
in order to give a better opinion I would like to have more detailed information such as your age gender sports activities and imaging test such as x-rays or MRI's .
If that is the case you can start to take medication by mouth with condroitin and glucosamine for at least three months.
then if you are not better you can go ahead and do an MRI of the knee .
Wish you quick recovery.
