has anyone experienced when waking up in bed when laying on your side that they seems to be pressure on your joints near the knee at the side joints and when you try to stretch thy are so stiff and painful.........it is reall worrying me as it is also adding extra pain when walking x

yes i have suffered this, I sleep with a cushion between my knees now and it seems to help 99% of the time.

you could also try muscle rubs like deep heat or fenbid forte gel they may be some inflammation around your knees at the moment.

hope this helps

and good luck
