What Causes Mottled Appearance Over Swollen Joints, Edema And Warmth?
I am a Family practice physician; I saw a patient today who has chronic severe Right hip OA; she stated a new pain of right knee with swelling; after visual inspection I noted superior to both knees, bright red colored mottled appearance, mild edema with warmth to touch and mild ttp over right knee. I am interested in your thoughts/ advise on this. Thank you,

I have studied your patients case.
There is possibility of synovitis leading to such symptoms.
Blood investigation and MRI knee will help to confirm diagnosis.
rule out polyarthritis by blood investigation like CBC, ESR, CRP.RA TEST, ACCP.
