Did they give you any injections? See if you can get the hoopla app - free from the library. when I was ready to lose my mind with avn in my hips I did Jon Kabbat Zinn's meditations for pain once or twice a day and it would bring 10+ pain down to a 6.

I took a x-ray in my leg due to the pain in my knee. It was a round spot and it scared me due to the cancer that runs in my family. Dr told me it was barker cyst he give me 3 injection 💉 in the knee and haven't had pain since. Only when I sit to long I can feel a sharp pain in the leg.

Thank you everyone for your experiences and suggestions. I really think it's veins or nerves. I've had knee pain from my rheumatoid but this I don't think is tendons or bone. It burns when I've been in the sun. Sometimes it feels like my whole front of my leg is stinging. Gosh I know I'm rambling. I'm just nervous. I'm leaving to go up North for 3 days to pick up my youngest. It's a 5 hour drive. Longest I've done in the last year since my RA has gotten worse. I guess I'll take my ice pack, it does seem to take some of the sting and swelling down for a bit. Thank you everyone. Foxbessler, good luck at your cardiologist and I hope you get your surgery soon.🙏❤️

All of the time and I get injections every 6 months in both knees it is a series of 3 weeks of shots. One injection in every knee for 3 weeks.

Hi Carol,

Is the pain on the sides of the knee cap or right on top? On the sides of the kneecap are the tendons. When they're inflamed, it's a burning pain. I get this when I exercise too much. I have had cortisone injections which do help.
