Hello.

For the past 2-3 days, I have been experiencing an intermittent warm sensation in my left knee. There is no physical change to joint - no swelling, no redness, no discoloration of any kind. The knee joint itself does not feel warm to the the touch; the warm feeling is the signal my brain is receiving from the knee. It usually passes within a minute or so, but then may recur anywhere from 2-3 minutes to several hours later. There is no pain involved, and it does not appear to be related to activity or positioning - it can occur when I am walking, sitting, or standing.

Possibly relevant health factors for me include:

1. I have never been diagnosed with gout, any type of arthritis, or diabetes, nor do I have any major health issues.
2. I am on a longterm Doryx (doxycycline) treatment for acne.
3. I also take simvastatin, dexedrine, and several topical medications for acne - none are applied anywhere near my knee.

I would guess I have experienced this symptom roughly 20-30 times over the past 2-3 days.

I am wondering if I should see a doctor about this condition.

Thank you.
