This can be pain of nerve compression at spine or due to knee arthritis. As you are saying that it occurs more when lying down. It looks like a nerve pain. Are you a smoker , than avoid this. Start taking pregabalin and methylcobal tablet. If pain become less than its fine otherwise get MRI of spine to confirm the diagnosis.
