Night pain: 43 year old lady with knee pain that is worse at night. When musculoskeletal pain is worse at night, it should be evaluated right away with a full physical exam and imaging. I would recommend visiting a musculoskeletal expert such as an orthopaedic surgeon. Imaging studies will be used based on the results of your physical exam. Always include your medical history, meds please. Good luck.
