Sometimes at night I wake up because my left knee is in excruciating pain. It seems to happen when I try to "move" which would require repositioning my knee. When it occurs, I feel like I can't bend or move the knee without experiencing terrible pain that usually leaves me whining and swearing.

This doesn't happen every night but maybe a couple times a week. I haven't been able to tie to an acitivity or shoe or anything. I don't have pain during the day other than sometimes discomfort while I'm working out, but I manage that through form and technique.

So, it seems that the problem arises when the knee is in one position for a long time and then I try to move it. Any idea what type of knee injury this would indicate?

Answer:

You could have bursitis ? I have it in my hip and it wakes me up too - generally only hurts at night.

Or you could just have a stiff knee with possible arthritis?

I'd see your family doctor - or take some alleve or motrin

at night -

My daughter is suffering oscar shlotters (sp) in her knee but she's 10 and it's a growing issue.

she had an x-ray and blood test to rule out lyme (the x ray was to rule out injury).

Does the knee seem swollen?

Good luck.

nothing serious . Just another problem owing to gas. Take homeopathic medicines

1) Sulphur 1m (in the morning)

2) Rhus Tox 1m (once a day)

3) Nux Vom 1m (before sleeping)

take 6-7 small pills on tongue at one time.

Will be fine in 2-3 days
