What Causes Swelling In Knees And Feet With Severe Temperature Changes?

my son has severe temperature changes in his legs, swelling in his feet &/or knees, within cm of each other there is severe cold and heat, hot with redness & cold with mottling at times, feet mostly with the motlling, swelling and cold, knees mostly with the heat, redness and swelling, the hot and cold areas move from leg to leg and areas of each leg, he is paralyzed due to spina bifida so if there is accompanying pain he is not feeling it, it does cause his BP to elevate though and there is NOTHING wrong with his heart and no circulatory problems they can find

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It seems to be a infection in the knee or in the leg, get your blood tests and X-rays done as soon as possible, you might need surgery to clear the infection if it is.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
