horrible knee pain
hello im 19 and last night during the middle of the night i woke up with terrible like knee pain. its hard to describe. i was sleeping on my side and my knees were bent a little. i went to straighten my legs out and it hurt sooo bad! the only thing i can compare it to is if you lay on your arm in the middle of the night and you wake up and its hard to move cuz the circulation was cut off.. it was like that but 10 times worse! it has never happened before and it kind of scared me. i dont have any leg or knee problems. does anybody know what this could have been from or if you can cut circulation off in your legs by laying on your side? i always sleep like this and like i said it has never happened before. thanks for your help!

yeah it could be a cramp, or just some bones or muscles that were in an uncomfortable place. its like twisting your neck and leaving it like that for a few minutes. after a while it starts to hurt because its not a natural position. your knee could have been twisted while you were sleeping and it could have been awkward and uncomfortable. or it could just be the bones. its like extending your elbow and you hear that crack.
honestly, i wouldn't worry about it. if it hurts again, try taking advil or ibuprofen. if it happens frequently, go to the doctor and get it checked out.

It could simply have been a cramp. If it happens again, I'd suggest going to the doctor.
Otherwise, it might be one of those really rare cramps that you get once, and never again.
I've had something similar happen to my knee too.
Just keep track of it happening again.
Hope all is fine :)
