Unusual: The presence of heat over the area is an unusual complaint, even in someone with severe stenosis. I would probably be seen and examined, in part to make sure you have not developed some form of infectious process somewhere; particularly if you have had any invasive spinal procedures such as an epidural steroid injection.
