What Causes Knee Pain And Tingling Sensation In Legs?

I am an inflammatory breast cancer survivor of three years. A month ago my knees started to hurt like someone was poking hot rods in them. it almost went away then it started again it gets really painful when I lay down at night after about a half an hour. some times it radiates up to my hip but not as bad more like a tingling. Does this sound like Bursitis or bone cancer?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Your symptoms are likely to be due to nerve root compression at lower spine due to mild disc protrusion. A follow up MRI scan will help in confirming the findings.
Since there is only numbness of the affected area it suggests that the affection of nerve root is only minimal.
Such minor symptoms are usually taken care of by Methylcobalamin supplements which you can take after consulting your orthopedician

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