I have the same problem it started when pushing my bed every day with the lower part of the knee like the skin got pushed and now when i try to go on top of the bed and i pushed the skin against the blanket it feels like it burns. I can't tell if is the skin or the muscle very strange any body with similar experience.
I took a bad fall abut 8 weeks ago, I am currently putting bandage tape across the back of knee to keep anything from touching it. It has helped.
What Avon lotion
Did u find out what it was. Mine is the same x
I had the same thing. I go to a chiropractor weekly and asked him about it. He was able to adjust my knee and the pain is gone!
I have a burning sensation when I kneel or to the touch I recently feel hard down on my right knee what can I do ?
I also suffer from this issue and it seems to be getting worse, does anyone actually know what it is called and/or a treatment??
Sue, I am experiencing the exact same thing in the exact same spot! Your post is the first thing I've come across when I posed my question to Google. Fingers crossed that someone has an answer to this mysterious ailment.
Have you found the cause of your knee pain? I too am a yoga teacher and the last month, my right knee to the right and below the kneecap burns horribly when doing child pose or even cat/cow. Not sure what I did that caused it. Your comments sound so familiar.
I think it's a nerve issue, based on the comments I've read here. I had the same issue and realized that I spend a lot of time at my desk and my knee is habitually resting in the exact same spot against the "interior walls" of my desk below my keyboard, and that's where stinging pain would appear when applying any pressure. Another guy said he was always resting his leg in a way that was putting pressure on a certain spot on his knee in his car while he was driving to and from work every day. For me, I just adjusted my posture and was very very careful not to put any pressure on that spot near my kneecap at all for about a month and it eventually went away. Magic.
It's your ITB
Willing to try anything what sort of lotion did u use cheers
It is a variant of infrapetellar saphenous neuritis. You can read about other variations of it here: by clicking on "PDF".
So many of us have this symptom! My left tibial tuberosity has been quite tender at times when subjected to the pressure of kneeling down. Someone complained to me today that he felt a burning slightly numb sensation lateral to his right tibial tuberosity when he knelt on it or when it touched some furniture and I have seen other patients with similar symptoms aggravated by kneeling.
There is a strand of tissue under the skin just over my left tibial tuberosity and pressure to that structure reproduces the pain. The same area below my other knee has the same structure but pressing on it produces no pain. Presumably the nerve on the left knee has been traumatized at some time in the past. Peripheral sensory nerves vary in location to some degree. Those who have this symptom caused simply by kneeling have nerves that cross from medial to lateral over the ischial tuberosity where weight is greatest when kneeling.
My treatment has been to use knee pads when i must kneel. All treatments work if they include avoiding continued trauma to the area.
More severe injuries to the same nerve could be treated by an injection to block the nerve.

Somehow the link to information on this subject was deleted when I posted the above comment. Just Google infrapatellar saphenous neuritis if you wish for very detailed information about this and other pains related to the saphenous nerve below the knee.
Wow. I'm experiencing the same burning pain, just outside left knee cap, only when I kneel and put pressure on it. Exactly like a rug burn but there is nothing visable on the surface, and no visable swelling. It's fine as long as I remember not to kneel. Weird.
