A member asked:
I woke up with sore knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: Many possible reasons - most commonly overuse. Less likely arthritis flare, infection, bursitis. Treat with conservative measures - RICE: rest, ice (at 15 min intervals), compression (ace wrap or support, remove at bedtime), elevation. If no allergy, take ibuprofen 400 mg every 8 hours with food.
