Feeling Sunburnt

[markulous]

I asked my Kung Fu teacher but he wasn't sure so I will ask it here.  The last 2 times I meditated(I was at work) and both times afterwords I feel sun burnt on my knees and spine especially.  They are both red and very hot for some reason.  It's not a constant burning or really any pain just it feels like I got a small sunburn on them.  Most of the rest of my body is fine and my normal temperature.  What is causing this?

I popped out my kneecap last year but it is doing it to both knees plus my spine so I don't think it's that...Any help would be appreciated.

On the Knee Cap?  Or behind the Knee?

On the top part of the knee itself.  But my other knee and spine as well...

I'd guess that the energy going up your spine is cleaning out some initial resistance and so a little bit of heat is being generated, but that it is a temporary thing, which will eventually resolve into being just a pleasant feeling of pressure.  I am assuming that the energy itself is not dangerously hot, or you would have noticed more of a generalized fever, and not just localized warmth.

The heat on the top of the knees is harder to place.  Are they entry points for energy?  Are they minor chakras?  And why would there be enough resistence there to generate heat.  But like with the Spine, I suppose the heat will only last until the resistances are cleaned out.
