What Causes Heating Sensation In Knee Caps?

I am 31,female..I have been having this strange heating sensation in my knee caps for the past three days. It occurs about every 5 to 10 minutes. It literally feels like a miniature hot flash on my knee caps. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hello,

As you feel hot above the knee cap I think you should check your uric acid levels. As due to increase in the uric acid levels there might be burning sensation,

Also, if there is any nerve root compression in the lumbar spine then also the burning symptom can come.

Need a thorough clinical examination and assessment of the knee and lumbar spine along with lab tests to figure out what should be the problem which is causing such burning sensation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
