Knee Pain at Night (Even Worse in Bed!)

I got a question from a subscriber who said his wife felt knee pain at night when she would go to bed. In this video, I'll go over some medical myths the doctors are probably telling you (and why not to believe them), what the actual causes of pain might be, and some leg strengthening exercises to help you work towards a good, pain-free night of sleep.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, I address a subscriber's concern about knee pain that his wife experiences during the night. I'll talk about doctors' use of arthritis as a "cause" of joint pain, the muscles to strengthen that are actually going to help your pain, and some exercises that will support your goal of a pain-free night.

What's going on with YOUR knee pain at night? How often is it happening? Drop me a comment!👇

[@deandrawatkins3155]

Hi! 35 year old very active lady prior to the injury! I remember vividly pulling my adductor muscle as I was twisting it to the side one day- felt very tender going from the inner knee to hip - was told to rest and ended up months later having glute pain and then pain down the back of my hamstrings calves and then to feet. Diagnosed with piriformis syndrome causing the sciatica symptoms. Ended up not being able to walk and not sit upright for weeks- the entire leg atrophied bc I was told rest by ortho and doctors. (All imaging showed No signs of damage) this happened for months where everything was tight. Finally stopped stretching and started strengthening at every length from the knowledge of your channel! Started strengthening the entire leg and realized how atrophied everything was bc I had knee pain climbing stairs. Later diagnosed with knee arthritis and offered injections which I firmly declined! Thank you for the knowledge you put out on this channel to help with muscle imbalances and ways to get out of RIPS! My limp finally went away when I focused on muscle imbalances and strengthening at every length!

At least 3 times a week on occasion pain travels to opposite knee. Almost always burning pain travels had down the down leg after I've been asleep a 1-2 hours. 70 yrs old When I'm doing wall stretch one side will pop as lowering down 😳

[@sketchesbyhusein3490]

I feel knee pain while i move upstairs or come down. But due to sciatica i have back pain and some times due to work load i feel pain in my right thigh and right leg

[@walter.66]

During the day all good. At night when resting the knee gets cold and painful. Also feeling this when resting during the day especially when a fan is even slightly blowing on it. My muscles are strong and I play sports where I have no problems with knees at all. Taking some acugesic 50mg every evening to survive the night. Accidentally found out that helps. (But now starting to help less). Too tired at night to get up which will reduce the pain after some walking. But as soon as lying down again pain comes back. Any suggestions? “Experts” can’t seem to find anything wrong with my legs.

[@Einsteinsmum]

Know that although your parents may not be able to benefit from your guidance, this 70 yr old woman deeply appreciates your videos. Re this video, love that twisting standing stretch. The seated straight leg lift grabbed my calf! Will try walking backwards. Thank you for all the valuable information and useful exercises you provide. ❤️

[@EvonneHeystek]

I am a 65-year-old lady who is very active, and about four or five months ago my knee started acting up so bad, I thought I'd have to go and look at a surgeon for a knee replacement. I did these exercises that you recommended and could not believe the immediate results! It was totally amazing how fast these exercises worked.

4:30 atrophy induced immobility... 8:12 exercise #1 wall twisted hip hinge to stretch ham, then use lat hams to pull you back up. this helps balance as hips now function in more motion range. stretch muscle when bending then fire them back upright. 5-10x2 each side. 13:24 ex #2 seated leg lift and hold. 15:47 when you stretch stiff lateral hams and build strength, your knees will bother less. 16:08 to build knee strength walk backwards a few minutes daily.

[@anthonytammer9214]

I'm a 79 year old man with arthritis. Over the last five days my right knee has started hurting in bed. By morning I can't walk. My calf is swollen, and I can't put any weight on my heel. In several hours of hobbling around all this goes away (about 90%) only to come back the next morning. I do excercise, like working on my old house, pulling up a bedroom floor to level it, and rebuilding the room.

Your You-Tubes are incredibly reassuring. The give me incentive to actually do something instead of complaining.

[@ImCarolB]

This is exactly what I'm experiencing, and exactly what my doctor told me was the cause! After a bad kidney stone attack, I got into the habit of not exercising or moving around enough. Months later, I am all bound up from the hips to the knees. Nothing to do for it but to get out and walk and go through some exercises. (I'm 70 years old.)

[@SensitivityIsland]

Mine all started when i put one foot out of bed, twisted on it as I stood up, something felt like it had snapped. Doc said cam impingement due to mri. But, I know it happened by my bed,at a v specific time. Still v tender in groin/ hip tendon attach area. Pain referred to knee. Grrrrr.

[@roryjdelany6994]

I am 80, I cycle around 100 miles a week and work out for around 2hrs every second day. About 3 months ago I started getting pain on the inside of my right knee while cycling. Then I started having it while walking, now I have it every night. It wakes me up and I am not ablevto find a comfortable position in the bed. So, I'm very open to whatever help you can offer. Thank you, Rory

[@anniehosking2408]

I really, really need to get back to doing exercises for my knees (and everything else). A few months of poor mental health and little movement means I'm getting more knee pain and a lot of back ache. Knee pain at night has been particularly bad this week so this is a timely video!

[@senilecanuck9402]

As someone who broke his knee many years ago let me suggest another cause of knee pain at night. Definitely do the exercises to improve knee health but there are a couple mechanical causes that can also cause pain in inflamed knees. It can be as simple as a little pressure on the foot, which causes pressure against the inside of the knee joint against tender tissues. Over time the irritation builds to actual pain, and since you lay there for 8 hours or so it has plenty of time to reach that point. For me if I lay on my back for example, my toes may not be pointed straight up at the ceiling. Feet angle slightly out when totally relaxed. Now if there is a comforter or other bedding hanging off the end of the bed pulling gently down on the highest point, my toes, that can be enough to create some rotational force against my knee. Because the foot is not pointing straight up it’s pulled down and to the side rotating the lower leg further. This gentle pressure twisting the knee can cause real discomfort over time. And once the knee is inflamed it just gets more sensitive to it. Simply adjusting the bedding so the weight is not pulling at the foot can be the difference between a comfortable night or tossing and turning and waking up with a swollen knee. In other instances just putting a small pillow under the knee for support can be what’s needed. Do the exercises for strong happy knees, but don’t discount simpler causes of discomfort too.

[@pattyrobinson948]

Thank you never thought about that before but you touched on something my senses have been tellin me.🤗🙋‍♀️

[@pattyrobinson948]

Thank you

[@2_572]

Thank I can move my leg but I fell making my left go in hearing a pop I think I sprainedy knee and trying to find the right angle to make my knee rest.

[@user-cx5cz9mi8k]

that’s great info about keeping the toes and ankles natural instead of blanket weight pulling them down

[@teeew89]

You’re so right

[@777hathor]

I’m in my 70’s. every now and again my left knee makes rolling over to get out of bed really painful. But once up and about I have no problem until the next time which maybe months later. So glad you can shed a light on this problem.

[@johnatyoutube]

You do the doctor imitation really well! Lol. If I'd listened only to doctors, I wouldn't be walking a few miles a day and doing asian squats today. Once in a while, I need an Alleve when I have a joint flare-up, but I'm SO much stronger for exercising and working on my lower body strength and flexibility. I've embraced the barefoot movement and am building natural strength and balance and alignment and it's making a huge difference. And I'm learning a lot from you and embracing it. I'm 61 and if I can do it, anyone can!

[@Uprighthealth]

🔥 Nice work, John! 🤙

[@maureenboey5002]

Really interesting video. Left hip arthritis started moderately a few years ago but worsened after moving to a new house with hard floors about 3 yrs ago, noticing a lot more leg stiffness, (correlation? not sure). Anyway last Aug when walking dog, she pulled me down on both knees on concrete but only left was really affected resulting in hairline knee fx. Dr confirmed by xr a few mos ago that it has healed, but I now have arthritis in that knee. I have really noticed that knee aching at night a lot sometimes going down to my shin and/or ankle. Will try that first exercise and the walking backwards exercise. I tried that leg extension once a few months ago (no weight) and my knee did not like that at all. Also I have seen advice from different PT's to not bulk up your quads as this can put pressure on your knees and best to mostly focus more on strengthening your glutes than quads. Same advice given for hip arthritis. On the other hand, I am sure my left leg has weakened a lot since my fall. Would love your comments on this. Really appreciate your videos and the ATM advice.

[@smca7271]

Love your vids...brain damage had me unbalanced for two yrs,steroids lost me most of leg and butt muscle,and I'm 59 and was unable to even cross my right leg (lots of stiffness around hip)...this also translated to pain in right hip and right knee...watched and used a lot of your vids and is getting better....I do stretches then exercise muscle then massage sore bits...keep up the great work,your helping a lot of people and making a difference in the world.

[@bethlouden971]

I have bad arthritis in my left knee and had an arthroscopy a couple of months ago with littlet to no improvement. The majority of pain is the back of my knee causing stiffness and poor flexibility and limited ROM. I do have pain with walking and stairs also. But at night I wake up with it hurting really bad. I just figured it was where it is staying bent for a long period of time. I know I'm headed for a knee replacement but would love to reduce my symptoms so I can put that off as long as possible.

[@joshuacarlmaglangit2622]

Thank you so much for all of the information. Right now, my both knees hurt so much this evening and I can't sleep and I don't know how to overcome it that's why I go to KZbin and search for it and I see your vlog and it helps me to overcome it. Thank you!

[@wr9418]

I'm grateful to the person who asked this question! I've been doing your exercises for about a year and my knees started hurting at night. I'm 58 and active. Not sure how much has to do with losing estrogen or hormones. What do you think about joints/ muscles in regards to menopause.

[@Uprighthealth]

I would suggest stretching and massage if you haven't already been doing that! I don't really know much about menopause - just that I'm glad I won't be going through it! 😅

[@RV-there-Yet]

Curious if you've found any further helpful info on this @wr9418? My issue, age & question exactly. Post-meno/menopausal~ however we call it these days =) I'm also active, strength train a few days a week, & eat a meat based diet, heavy in collagen & so forth~ which I know helps, yet still continue to have the knee pain at night. I will be focusing specifically on the quad/hamstring exercises, but am also wondering where you are at personally with this, nine months later. Thanks, in advance~ Samantha in NV

[@wr9418]

@@RV-there-Yet Hi there! I don't really have any answers. We sound very similar. Very health conscious and doing everything right. I know that the pain is worse when I'm stressed which is very regularly, lol. Some information helped, TMS, mind body approach. Work by Dr. John Sarno, Videos by Pain Free You. All the pain started around menopause and yes losing estrogen has an effect on joints. But if you choose not to use hormone therapy then I feel like working with the mind is the next approach. I hope some of this helped.

[@RV-there-Yet]

@@wr9418 That sounds reasonable, & something I've not thought of, so thank you. I also chose not to do any HRT, & I'm still firm in feeling like the trade off is not right for me. Hoping I don't live to regret that decision. For now, I've started training myself to sleep on my back, with legs elevated in an "L" shape~ as if sitting in a chair, so to speak. This has given noticeable relief at night, with far fewer wake ups due to discomfort & the need to move. Another experiment is mouth taping, as I've been researching the benefits, including better oxygen absorption by breathing through the nose. This can be of help for some dealing with joint pain. Always willing to experiment =) Thanks again for your input. -Samantha

Excellent information! Thank you so much! I completely agree that our body gives us all kinds of signals where it needs attention. We can heal pretty much everything except big injuries. Small injuries heal on their own. Incorporating an exercise routine where you are bending in all possible directions, stretching and exercising all muscles can save us from many so called "age" related" problems.

Every once in awhile I get knee pain at night I think because I'm laying my leg in a direction that bothers the tissues in that joint. But when I seem to stretch the leg out gradually the pain goes away. So my guess is the pain is there because of weak either quad or hamstring muscles, or both!

[@anjurai334]

I'm a 19 year old male . I injured my leg while playing in such a way that my left leg was stuck on the ground and my body fell over. There was a terrible pain at the day of the injury right from the place where leg is attached to the lower body to the lower parts of the knee and sometimes even further. I tried some home remedies and they did give some relief but then the cycle of pain started. Now every night just as I go to bed the pain starts at different spots like the centre of thigh , left side of thigh , the knee . And it usually is the same kind of pain that happened on the first day of injury. After 15 days of this pain , i finally visited the doctor and x ray was taken from little above the knee to the foot . And surprisingly everything is fine according to the doctor. He suggested some calcium medicines and adviced me for some physical activities but I don't think I'm quite satisfied by this because it's not the first time I've twisted my leg or ancle and I'm aware of the period of convalescence it takes but this time it's already a long time(17 days) and the cycle is as painful as ever. Please tell what do you think 🙏 Thank you

I do strength train a few times a week, as well as walking about 2-3 miles a day, 3-4 times a week. At 58 yrs old, I was beginning to think it's simply how it's going to be, this knee pain~ like the need for reading glasses. Except now it's to the point where it's affecting my sleep profoundly so I'm doing the research for sure. I appreciate your time & effort in addressing this, thanks again ~ Samantha in NV

[@pauljenkins4987]

Similar injury: Watching this to see if any further information can be gleaned. I was rollerblading and got hit by a cyclist who was riding on the wrong side of the road. I went over her handlebars and landed on the inside of my left knee. Due Adrenalin etc I thought nothing of it and went off on a 2 hour street skate in my cute soon-to-be 68 year old way. I thought at first that I had bruised my Pes Anserine because that seemed to be the point of impact, but it kept hurting at night way longer than it ought. Then I thought it might be my knee capsule in an Oh-well-shoulda-worn-those-knee-pads-like-the-kids-keep-telling-me, accept it, move on, it'll heal eventually kinda way. But it kept on hurting and seemed to be getting worse. Then I thought I might have damaged my MCL and started doing exercises for that to no avail. Next I thought it might be a case of tibial rotation since the exercise for that seemed to bring some temporary relief. And it still 'effin hurts at night. I finally figured the pain is almost exactly the same as that time I had Sciatica back when I used to drive a lot, only on the inside of the knee. So perhaps a trapped nerve. Lately, I've been hopping out of bed when it tweaks too bad to sleep at night and doing that Saphenous nerve stretch thing where you rotate the injured leg outwards, jam your foot at 90 degrees in the join between the wall and the floor, step right out with the other leg and do a deep knee bend umpty several times. And "that" really seems to help me. so I hope it helps your subscriber.

[@user-cx5cz9mi8k]

most doctors send people to physical therapy. they know weak muscles put strain on tendons, nerves and joints. any doctor i have encountered in michigan anyway. a PT can strengthen, use US and massage safely so we don’t injure ourselves more. i think this should all be done by a knowledgeable therapist. they are usually very good at sending you home with lots of things you can do free. PT usually causes more pain before a person feels better due to using muscles that have been lazy for too long. then people think PT is making them worse and quit.

[@PhpGtr]

The fold is bad, at least in my case, because of a herniated L5 / S1 disk, that blows out toward the back. Bending over that way (flexion) sort of pushes the herniated disk (disc?) into the nerve. Though that wall exercise, with moderation, can be a great idea and is not too bad (for me).

So true what you said about doctors. I injured my knee in my youth. It bothered me on and off throughout life. Especially when walking down hills. After losing 20 pounds and getting jacked in my fifties, the pain went way until I squatted deep. Now one's been bothering me especially when I lay on that side. The inside of the knee cramps up with pain and it takes a moment to straighten without pain. I lightened up on the weights and tried different exercises but its been over a year. I'm going to try your stretches. Horseback riding seems to help. Perhapes due to the position. Walking backwards didn't work. It just built up my upper thighs. Love the little skeleton. 😄

Sir every mid night i awake suddenly from sleeping due to pain in knee... what i should do?

[@orangefiltersky9387]

I’m also hypermobile and also probably have inflammation. I have leg pain from sleeping and think it’s because of the sleeping position.

In a prior comment from different video about me telling my ortho dr about how walking backwards 100 steps daily helped my arthritic knee pain & I can continue my daily 2 mile walks. Dr said if it works for you but I will not recommend it to my patients they may fall & break a hip walking backwards...duh...I am pain free in my knees walking slowly backwards....prior to my daily walks. I am in my 60's.

I have had a similar issue for about 2 months. I went to see my orthopedic doctor and he touched an area behind my knee that was super sensitive and told me that I need to go to a physical therapist where they will do this procedure they do with a metal bar to scrape that area and that that would help with the pain previously I was told that I would not need a knee replacement because my knees are in such good shape. This is the weird thing, I can use my knees all day long and have no pain and even after I am in bed sleeping I have no pain. The only time I get pain is as I'm drifting off to sleep for that split second I get a searing pain that wakes me up. As soon as I wake up and I wait a while the pain is gone. But as soon as I start to drift off to sleep I get that excruciating pain again for seconds. Once I managed to actually fall asleep for the night I'm fine all night long no more pain. I'm anxious to try your exercises to see if they help me. Thanks for your great videos and all the information

Your doctor should have also said "I don't recommend driving home for my patients. You could get in a car accident. You will need to live here with me in this office forever. We'll have food delivered. The world is scary and risky and we are only safe HERE in this bunker, strapped to our beds with feeding tubes."

I feel burning in my feet and knees at night too. My ortho doctor suggested me to avoid stairs and bending or sit on the floor on feet. He diagnosed sciatica with weak knees, can i do this exercise? Will it remove the pain and burning? My doctor advised me walk of 1 hour at least.

Hi I’m a 16 year old with knee pain doctors say that I sprained my knee but it been happening since I was younger they did this procedure on my knee where they drawed blood spin the plasma and put it into my knee but it still hurts even after the procedure can you help me understand what’s going on?

[@gabbygabz4263]

One knee hurt me all night but mostly I would hurt on both knees but not everyday. Then as the day goes by the pain goes away.

[@thomasbeckett1245]

I walk a few miles to visit my 90 year old mother daily, and my one knee started hurting when I sit, and try to stand. Or at night. The one that doesn’t hurt seems more swollen usually then the one that actually hurts!

[@minerofdiamondsboy4337]
