What Causes Numbness Outside The Right Knee With Burning Sensation?

The outside of my right knee is numb; however, if I touch a particular spot on indside of right knee I get a burning/stinging sensation on the outside of knee that is otherwise numb. If I roll over on right side while sleeping and hit the spot I feel like I have rolled onto a knife.

According to the history of your complaint you should talk with your doctor to do an MRI of the affected area to see about the nerves compression which might be the cause.After you should take treatment such as steroids.
