A member asked:
When i run and stand for too long my knees burn on the inside , get red all around my knee and a bit on my thigh and feel hot to the touch?

Inflammation: If knees burn and turn red that often indicates irritation or inflammation at the place being stressed by gravity or position. Strengthening of upper leg muscles may help. Also healthy diet with lots of veggies can reduce tissue inflammation. If multiple places around body get repeatedly red or irritated, it's worth being evaluated.
