Burning sensation below the knees
by fxbillie, Aug 24, 2009 07:45PM
I have burning sensation below the knees when I sit too long and/or in air-condition environment. My feet don't like anything touching it. I was tested on sugar level and it had been in between 6 & 7. The family Dr thinks I am on border line of being diabetic. My feet are perfectly ok when I am standing up or walking in hot weather places like Hawaii & Florida, wearing short pant and in sandles/slippers (just nothing touching or constricting the skin of the lower legs). So what problem is this? Bad circulation or neuropathy? Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are many causes of knee burning sensation. They are- Diabetes, Peripheral artery disease, Peripheral neuropathy, Sciatica, Cold, Peripheral nerve compression, Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis and many others. For you it must be cold temperatures causing the problem. Please keep your self as warm as possible if you have to sit for long in an air conditioned environment. Please take some time out for some stretching movements to improve blood circulation in between long hours. At home, exercise regularly. These may improve the symptoms. Please consult a physician and neurologist if the symptoms persist. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
