Acute Pseudo Locked Knee At Night?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chico, CA

Seriously, WTH? It's been happening on and off for the last two years, not too often, thank god, but damn. I'll just wake up in severe pain, crying out, and my knee is locked up, won't move. It's excruciating pain. I can't make it unlock. I can't stand on it. My brain goes into panic mode and I start thinking about how I'm going to even get down the stairs to go to the ER.

You know when I know it's bad? When every test they show and motion makes me cringe and know I can't do that. "If it hurts, don't do it", uh, yeah. I'm out. lol

I am so sorry to hear this. It's sounds painful and frightening. I have on going knee problems with pain, popping and sometimes a jolt, but I have not had this. I hope your rheumatologist can help you!
