Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Burning Sensation And Throbbing Pain On Knee?
I feel about 45 minutes ago and feel on my knee, it was hurting so bad I couldn t move for a moment. It was burning and throbbing with pain going up and down my leg. I immediately put ice on it and elevated it but the ice did not help and one side of the knee is swollen. And it is still burning very badly. Have I damaged my knee?
I am sorry I have to say this, but it looks like you have damaged your knee. Focused swelling only in one side of the knee , suggests a focussed trauma to ligament/ bone at that particular area.Also ice , rest and elevation of limb usually help with pain when applied over time over the first 2 days.If you are not able to stand or walk on your leg , you should see your physician to get is evaluated further.
Hope this helps.
All the best. Regards.
Dr SBK
