Any doctors in the house? (1 Viewer)

so, I have recently developed a terrible burning pain, sensation on the outside of my left knee.  not sure if it's LCL related or maybe a meniscus issue.  strangely enough, it hurts to the touch and I have a hard time toweling the area off after a shower.....the burning is that intense.  when I am doing normal things, not much of an issue, but if I bend down or need to extend, the burning comes back.

thoughts?

If it's on the outside part of your knee I don't think it's meniscus.  I used to run a lot and the edges of my knees would burn--and one doctor told me that I did something to my IT band that caused inflammation. He said it was most likely because I was running on asphalt or cement-which was true.   I had to stay off of running for a bit to give it a chance to heal, ice it--and there was some excercises that he had me do.   With that being said--I'm not a doctor---and I know that burning sensations can sometimes be attributed to infections too--so hopefully you get some more opinions in here.
