What Causes Painful Burning Sensation In The Knees?
I hae a burning pain in my knee on the inside edge. I think from reading it is a bursitis. I want to know if it is ok to walk and use it or am I supposed to rest it. It seems to improve but have to keep in certain position when lying at nite or even sitting.

Hello,
Bursitis is a possible cause. However, other possible causes may include arthritis/osteoarthritis, mechanical pain, and tendinitis. I will suggest you try the following:
• Take a pain/anti-inflammatory drug like Tylenol
• A local pain gel like voltarene
• Rest well and observe
If pain persists, you see the doctor for examination and other treatment options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
