Question 5

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Warm joints are typically caused by inflammation, a healing response mediated by your body's cells. An injured area attracts healing white blood cells, macrophages, etc to start the repair process. Classically the process includes redness, swelling, tenderness, heat, and pain as the blood supply increases as a response to bring those cells after injury, gout, infection, etc.

Heat: Yes, you can apply heat.

Question 7

i fell on cement, hit knee. should i be using heat or just ice?

Accepted Answer

Ice first: Generally the first few days we encourage icing to minimize the inflammation. After a few days you can start adding heat to encourage circulation and the healing process. Ice can still be used especially if the knee becomes too inflamed/painful after activity. See a doctor to rule out any fracture or injury to the knee.
