Inflammation: Sometimes arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) can cause warmth and pain with joint effusion. Other soft tissue abnormalities such as tendonitis, muscle strain. There are many other conditions that can cause similar findings. If this pain continues, you should consult physician for physical exam, possibly blood tests, and imaging studies.

Knee pain: Knee pain has several causes. Without trauma the usual causes are soft tissue rather than bone or joint. If the pain is around the kneecap (patella) then it could be bursitis, tendonitis, meniscal tear, patellofemoral syndrome, or a ligament injury. Best to get exam by your physician.
