Lately, I have strange pains in my knees. Some kind of burning pain. Do you familiar with this problem? Is it connect to the PN or new issue?
Thanks |

Though bad knees run in my family and I expected to get some problems, my knees really started acting up after I PN. Not only pain in the knees themselves, but a terrible burning sensation both below and above the knee caps... |

My left knee has just succumbed to whatever nerve malfunction going on within. I've pretty much full body PN. A month ago I banged my knee while 'roughhousing', and the other person rather agressively proceeded to bite my knee. Teeth marks left and all. Since then there has been a spread. My knee isn't burning. There is an ache, a deep ache that is getting worse, and it is starting to interfere a bit in walking. I'm beginning to think that any new injury may just not heal, the nerves going haywire. A bit depressing. |

Since you say a person bit you and left bite marks, maybe you have an infection or such going on from the bite. Human bites aren't good either.

Thanks, but no, there was no skin breakage, and the biting was done over a covered pant leg. So I'm thinking there isn't infection, which I would prefer having actually, instead a spreading of the pain... |

(reflex sympathetic dystrophy) The type of injury you had, and the spreading occurance of pain suggests this might be an issue for you. RSD is also a neuropathy, and has some interventions which when done early in the symptoms, may reverse. It is a sympathetic nerve disorder, and may respond to calcium channel blockers when it first appears. Quote:
RSD often is not easily or quickly diagnosed. But it tends to spread and may even become full body in some patients. I think for some patients, RSD is something to look into.

I have rsd and pn so I agree with Mrs D you may want to check out over there. The burning and spread are symptoms of rsd. It could not be but something to investigate. I know for me with inner ankle/foot/calf pain I often feel sore latley in other part of my legs. I am not sure if it is cause I compensate and walk odd when my major areas hurt extra or if it is a spread. Feel better

I also have knee pain, and I believe it is directly related to PN. I have knee pain all around the knee caps, especially after sitting for more than an hour. Excercise helps. I never have injured my knees, so this is why I believe it is related to PN. My PN started it my feet, first with numbness and has worked up to the knee area.
