What Causes Soreness And Warmness In The Knee?
My husband is 47. Three days ago his knee became sore and it feels warm as if it has fever. Today it is slightly red and looks to be going down his leg to his ankle. He has not had surgery, or an accident or injury that would cause this. He is able to walk and move, just the above mentioned symptoms. Any suggestions?
