Extreme knee pain when rolling over or bending/straightening while in bed. almost painfree after standing up & walking. could it be torn meniscus?

Less likely: A meniscal tear is usually most painful with weight bearing. See an orthopedist and have the knee evaluated. Then you will have your answer., .
