Female with bad pain in side of right knee for last week at nite only. very painful to turn while lying down. what can cause this. thank you

A number of things.: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, that area has tendons that become irritated with trauma, turning, overuse. Aspirin, rest, ice early and heat after 1 day are helpful. Physical therapy, orthopedist, if it is a persistent problem.
