Hello,
As you have this warm temperature at the Side of the knee, I suspect this to be an inflammation occurred due to either the ligament injury or maybe a degenerative change of the bones which happens due to ageing but the common thing is the reduction in the joint space and inflammation which occurs due to abnormal pathology.
Using a knee brace for support to the muscles to maintain the required strength and allowing the knee joint space to increase. Also, doing static Quadriceps and static hamstring will help you regain some strength in the knee muscles as well. By which the swelling will also come down. Using hot water fermentation will allow the muscles to relax and improve the circulation around the joint.
For best outcome score a guided balance board knee rehabilitation training under a physiotherapist will be good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
