Feeling Heat in the Knee – Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment at Emirates Hospital Group

Experiencing a sensation of heat in the knee can be a symptom of various underlying conditions. Here, we explore common causes and related conditions associated with this symptom

Causes of Feeling Heat in the Knee

  1. Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammation in the knee joint due to conditions such as osteoarthritis (cartilage wear and tear) or rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune attack) can lead to a noticeable warmth.
  2. Injuries: Sprains, strains, and ligament tears resulting from accidents or overuse can cause localized inflammation, contributing to a warm sensation in the knee.
  3. Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs around the knee joint, known as bursitis, is another potential cause of heat and discomfort.
  4. Infections: Conditions like septic arthritis, characterized by joint infections, can manifest as warmth, swelling, and pain in the knee.
  5. Overuse and Repetitive Stress: Activities that involve repetitive stress on the knee, such as running, may lead to inflammation and a feeling of heat.
  6. Gout: This form of arthritis, caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals, can also present with warmth in the affected joint.

Seeking professional medical advice is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management tailored to the specific cause of the heat sensation in the knee.
