What Caused A Burning Sensation In My Lower Leg?

today I was sitting in a chair and something felt like it let go in my leg (below my knee in the front). It really burned and hurt. When I went to get up my foot hurts so bad I can t put any weight on it. What can it be? Do I need to go to the emergancy room?

Hello,

It could be due to neuropathic causes like peripheral neuropathy.

If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
