What Are The Causes Of Burning Pain In Knee And Protruding Lump Between Knee Caps?

Looking at my right knee as a clock face, I have a inner burning pain at the 3 to 7 area. When I bend my knee, or squat, there is a protruding lump on the outside between my kneecap and outer bone of my knee. I had a xray a while back nothing showed up.

i would suggest you to get the MRI of the knee joint as there is chances that it may be a meniscus tear or early osteoarthritis. I would also recommend you to avoid squatting and sitting on the floor. When report shoes the diagnosis you can receive treatment accordingly. For pain you can take Brufen tablet for relief.
