A member asked:
Have had meniscus tears. knee has swelling and pain again. but i my full right leg has pins and needles and is burning hot. what should i do?

Be seen: I would be seen. It does not sound like a simple recurrent tear of your meniscus. A cellulitis is a soft tissue infection and can spread quickly and I a little concerned that is what you might be describing. Be seen.
