Knee pain at night – what should I do?

Your night’s rest is disturbed by pain in the knee joint?

Good, restful sleep is important for quality of life. If this is disturbed by pain, the body loses performance and becomes unbalanced. In addition, pain is an unpleasant and nerve-sapping affair. In addition, many people worry about whether “there is something serious behind it”.

Pain is basically a signal from the body that something is wrong.

Your body wants to make you aware that it needs attention in order to regain balance. See pain as the way your body communicates with you. There are also many ailments that go unnoticed because the body does not report pain. In this way, the pain gives you the opportunity to become active early on and to help your body.

Maybe it’s just a minor thing that is easy to fix.

In any case, a medical clarification is important. If, for example, osteoarthritis is involved, it is important to start therapy as early as possible. In osteoarthritis, pain at rest can be a sign of an advanced stage of the disease. Therefore, knee pain that occurs at night should always be examined by a doctor.

So do not lose time or valuable sleep, but listen to your body and clarify the symptoms early on. You only have this one body.
