Suggest Remedy For Burning Feeling On Knee

I think I was stung by something in the grass. I had a burning feeling on my knee and noticed some redness. Then I began to feel pain in my groin area on the same side as the knee. About an hour later I started feeling increased pain in the whole leg, but mainly between the knee and groin. Now I am having pain in my arm on the opposite side. I took a benadryl and 2 ibuprofen, but the pain has remained the same. I do feel a slight swelling in my throat/tongue, BUT it is not severe and I am breathing fine. Also have slight nausea. It s been 2 hours since the initial sting took place. I have fibromyalgia, and wonder how long this pain will last, and if it s normal to feel the pain I am feeling (i.e. knee, groin AND arm.) I am applying a cold compress to my knee, but it s not helping.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your knee seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
