Infrapatellar neuralgia

Persistent, often burning pain in the front of your knee. It may be result of infrapatellar nerve (one of the sensory nerves to the knee) entrapment or direct injury to the nerve after knee trauma or surgery (e.g. Total Knee Replacement or arthroscopy).

This pain may respond well to a nerve block with the Mixture of Local Anaesthetic and Steroids which is usually done in Out-patient clinic during your appointment.
