Knee pain: Awakening with knee pain and swelling without recent injury is consistent with acute prepatella bursitis with fluid buildup. Lack of fever and skin redness is reassuring that it most likely is not an infectious process. Apply cold compresses and take anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. If no improvement see your physician or an orthopedic specialist for evaluation.
