I have had charlie horse-like pains in my right knee that radiates down the leg. it always seems to happen when i lie down to go to sleep. any advice?

Maybe internal knee: Hi DRoy Is your knee otherwise fine? Sometimes inflammation inside the knee can be triggered by changes in position when lying down, and start hurting. Any 'radiating' pain also suggests nerve compression as a source. Try more stretching, but if continues, consult with your PCP. Good luck.
