A member asked:
Help me, i have an injury that i went to minor injuries about, they said it was torn meniscus but it has now become more swollen and is warm to touch ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscus tear: Meniscus tears can cause swelling and inflammation in the knee which can make it feel warm to the touch. Elevation of the knee and antiinflammatories can make this more comfortable. If the meniscus catches or causes your knee to give out, then seek out your sports medicine or ortho doctor.
