What Causes Sudden Feeling Of Warmth On Front Side Of Knee?
i have been having a hot flash, I guess that is what I will call it, on the front side of my knee. it lasts about 5-10 seconds at a time. Have had about 12 of these since 2: 00 oclock today. Should I be worried? Just started taking cholesterol medication about a month ago. And am on high blood pressure medication for some time.

Hello
I have studied your case,
These symptoms are adverse effects of statins medication which you have started for cholestrol.
Yes you may have to wait till effects resolve, you can reduce symptoms by some lifestyle changes.
Continue your medication and nutritional supplement.
Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Eat fresh fruit and juice and soup they have anti=oxidant.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
Yes you can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.
You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobalamine 1500 once day or Inj methylcobalamine1500 mcg once week for 6 weeks.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
