What Causes Burning Sensation On The Knees During Workouts?

I m a 25 year old female, about 5 3 and around 168 pounds. I have been doing workout programs and have been losing weight. About mid-summer, I was doing a runners stretch and the left side of my left knee felt this burning sensation. Ever since, anytime I get in a similiar position or use my legs to lift anything, it either starts burning again or feels like it. It feels weaker. It is based right on that long tendon or ligament or whatever it is that is on the outside of the knee.

Hello,

The burning sensation in the knee during exercises can be related to overuse of the joints. I recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest to rest for a while and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
