My knee will develop occasional pain and hotspots that seem to be appearing without a logical (no injury or overwork) reason. My left ankle will unexplicably swell and become very tight and sore again without a logical reason. I played basketball for many years and my knee has very little between the bones. The pain and hot spots are not constant. My left ankle is occasionally tender but not always painful. Can a cold settle into these joints and create these symtoms? I am fresh out of guesses.Thanks for any insight.

Oh all my joints do the same thing, I dread winter, and rainy weather. Go to your Family dr, they can give you some anti inflammatory to help

Yes : it can cause " Amberisim or Tendinitis" if cold gets into
knee joints ! the best way to rid that problem get a Cortizone shot
from your family Doctor use also Deep heat Rub ointments
very important remember get a ice pack put it on those swollen
areas for 2 hrs every day plus keep elevated ok ?

YES it can. it's a a type of streptococcus that can cause rheumatic damage to the joints. if discovered in time it can be cured by very strong antibiotics. don't wanna scare you, but if you don't get treatment in time, it will cause damage to your heart. go and take some tests. ASLO, to see if you have been sensitized by a streptococcus. Good luck, and if you want to email me to tell me what the doctor told you, please

See a rheumatologist to check for rheumatoid arthritis.

If you drink a lot, it could be a minor case of gout.
