Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain
I awoke this morning with cronic pain in my right knee and cannot bend it straight. Back of knee feels warmer than rest of knee. I am a side sleeper age 72 this March and use a knee pillow to sleep with. No redness shows and otherwise feel fine. Pain is just centered in back of knee. Just got over treatment for cronic pinch nerve in low back. Have scoliocis of the spine. YYYY@YYYY name Lana Am I okay to wait till I can call my Dr in the morning? Worried of a possible blood clot. I do have spider veins on side of leg.

Hello,
In my opinion I am positive that you might be suffering from arthritis. The bad positioning of your knee pillow might have hastened the condition. If you were my patient I would advise painkillers for the pain and mobility for your right knee.
Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
