what does it mean when your knee feels like it is burning inside?
The hunt for the cause of knee pain is like the search for a home: Location matters. For example, pain below your kneecap might be a sign of patellar tendonitis, or inflammation in the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. Pain above the kneecap often means quadriceps tendonitis. Pain on the inside or outside of your knee could has truly varied causes. It might be a sign of a torn ligament (the medial collateral ligament on the inside or lateral collateral ligament on the outside). But it also could indicate a torn meniscus.
