Symptom #10: Heat In The Joints
One of the more interesting symptoms that people experiencing osteoarthritis might experience is a sensation of warmth or heat in the joints. This is because the joints themselves will begin to generate heat as the cartilage becomes damaged and the muscles grow weaker.
This is particularly apparent in the elbows, knees, and fingers. They might sometimes seem warmer than the rest of your body. If it becomes excessively uncomfortable, you could cool them down with an ice pack or take a cool shower. This will also help to manage swelling.
