What Causes Burning Sensation Behind The Knees?

For the past couple of days, I get acute, intermittent burning sensation from the back of my knee to my ankle. Sort of feels like when you get a CT and the dye can make you feel as if you urinated yourself. Not sure what to check or what it could be.

Hi,

You can have peripheral neuropathy like problem. You can rule out common causes like B12 deficiency and diabetes by serum B12 estimation & random blood sugar estimation.

You can rule out thyroid issue as well by serum TSH estimation for your case.

I suggest you to consult physician for neurological examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
