Can LE cause warmth/heat

Now and then the area where my LE is most troublesome, just below the elbow, is quite warm or even hot to the touch. My LEist has noticed it too, but says some people with LE do get that. It kinda irks me though. I keep looking for any redness indicating cellulitis but thankfully so far it's OK. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Sometimes I think my elbow area seems warm - then I realize it's probably because I've been rubbing it...

    Good thing you're watching for redness or spread of the hot feeling. If it goes away in a short time and only returns sporadically, it's just one of those things that makes us unique?!
