Knee pain: That occurs at night and associated with a popping or cracking can mean a meniscal tear or a bone spur. Or an early arthritic joint the position one lays in may influence the pain and may force the tissue into a configuration that is painful. You may find that it huts worse when you lay on one side or another depending upon how your knee is situated see an orthopedic surgeon.
