Knee Pain, Burning Sensation, Bulging Vein In Knee Cap. Tried Icing It, No Relief. Causes?
Last night I was putting my kids to bed when my knee started to hurt and it was a burning feeling. I reached down and felt the vein on top of my knee cap bulging out in a Y shape. I had not fallen or done anything to cause this. I put ice on it but it did not seem to help. This morning after sleeping the bulging has gone down but the kneecap is still painful. Any thoughts?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Possibility of knee pain can be due to meniscus injury ,which can be confirmed by clinical examination and if required MRI.
Till time take analgesic and apply knee support.
