I have burning and swelling with a lot of pain just above the knee. My legs feel like they are burning during the night and break out in sweat. What is this?
I don't know if you've asked to see a physio or chiropractor at all? You can get a referral through your doctor.
The reason I suggest this is because we are not allowed to offer diagnoses I'm afraid. It sounds like a form of tendonitis or bursitis, given the symptoms you describe and short of a confirmed diagnosis, I recommend you apply the good old bag of frozen peas to the knee for 10 minutes each evening and apply some Atrogel® before bed and twice more in the day.
The other recommendation is easier said than done - rest the knee as best you can!
Best wishes
Earle
