What Causes Knee Pain With Warmth On Touching?

default
Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Question: My knees (both, but sometimes just one) tend to get very red and hot to the touch. It happens regularly, almost every day but is completely random at when it happens. It almost always happens when I get out of a shower. What could this be and could it be serious. I'm 22 years old. In middle school suffered a bad injury to both knees.

Brief Answer: Pain over your knees seems to be inflammatory Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. According to your description , pain over your knees seems to be inflammatory in nature. I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of knees and rule out any infective cause. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
