What Could Cause Burning Sensation & Numbness On The Left Knee?
I fell down yesterday and landed on my knees. My left knee is what hurts the worst. If I push on the inside of my knee, I get this spreading burning sensation to the oustside of my knee, almost fluid feeling. On top of the burning, it feels kind of numb. What could this mean?

Hello,
Falling on knees can lead lead to various injuries like
Meniscus tear
ACL tear
pattelar ligament sprain
bursitis
muscle and tendon sprain
Fracture
It would be good if you do MRI for left knee to rule out the above causes
Till then rest, icing, compression using crape bandage will provide relief
Avoid weight bearing and movements on the left knee,however you can walk using stick on the right leg
hope this helps you
thank you
