I get pain in my knees daily, they are red but don't appear to be swollen. they also radiate heat. my last doctor had no idea of the problem. ideas?

Seek second opinion: There are a myriad of problems that can cause "red knees". You could have an infection in your skin, dermatological problems like psoriasis or you could even have gout. I would seek an opinion from an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation, possible blood work and/or imaging.
