A member asked:
I have no cartilage in my knee how come it hurts worse at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Night pain: At night, we experience the accumulation of all of the inflammation that has built up during the day when we are active. The joint friction gradually worsens as we walk and by the end of the day, the symptoms are at their worse.
