Bad knee day

[unixronin]

I'm not aware of having done anything to it during the night, but when I went to bed last night, my right knee was fine.  (Well, "fine" is relative here.  Let's say "no worse than typical for lately" instead.)  This morning, I cannot bend my right knee without pain, and cannot put weight on it bent at all.

I guess my right knee's going to need surgery sooner rather than later.

How do you sleep? What positions?
My mom found that,pre-surgery,placing a firm pillow between her knees/ legs while she laid on her side, stopped them from hitting each other while she was asleep. That might help.

I don't sleep in one fixed position. Most of the time, I sleep on my left or right side with the uppermost knee raised to near waist level, or flat on my back. Occasionally I'll lie on my stomach for a while. I didn't sleep any differently that night from the night before or the night after, I just -- for no apparent reason -- woke up with my right knee painful to move.
