I am sorry you're stressing over this. It is understandable though when we're healing from a joint replacement for the first time, or MUA, and dealing with the uncertainty of what to expect. You are recovering from the controlled trauma of surgery, then the MUA only a month ago, please try to be patient and give it more time.
You will get there!
This may ease your mind in regard to warmth, hopefully so and it will become one less thing to focus on or be troubled by -
Warm feeling around the knee: the operated site may feel hot and the heat may last 3-12 months. As part of the healing process, the operation site requires more blood supply from the body, and it is this extra blood supply which gives rise to the local heat.
So view it as your miraculous body doing just as it should. It's healing! Give yourself the TLC you deserve.
My wish for you is peace of mind and total healing.
