Is a raised spot with burning sensation on the knee a concern?
Patient: I have an issue with my right knee I have a slight raised place on the lower outside part of the knew and have had for about 2 weeks it doesn t hurt down deep like a joint or tendon but rather the skin hurts to the touch or when i have pants on I certainly have never had anything like it before Any Thoughts?? Doctor: Hello,  As I understand with the query is all about the burning sensation. Now, this is not related to the knee. As you never mentioned about the injury so I suspect that you haven't had any.  This burning sensation is related to the nerve root. due to weakness in the spinal region, the nerve root gets impingement. As the nerve has the function of carrying the sensory and motor, any impingement of the nerve will cause the dysfunction in the normal functions of the nerve.  I think if you do core strengthening exercises then your symptoms will subside  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
