I woke up yesterday with really bad pain in my knee. It feels hot to touch compared to the other one, but doesnt seem to be swollen etc..
It really hurts when bending, straightening and even just sitting still. I have had it before, about 6 months ago when it lasted for a week then disappeared. It really is very painful and I can hardly walk, any ideas what it could be??
I didn't injure it, just woke up in agony!

Is it possible it could be gout? Would that come and go like this?

you should seek medical advice cos if it is hot to touch it could indicate a infection! Good luck

I don't know what the cause of your knee pain might be, since you say you don't believe you've ever injured it, but studies show that changes in the barometer do cause pain for some people. This link offers some possible explanations.

Try a knee support. From almost any chemist or superdrug etc. While you are there you will also see some ointments. In boots you can even get good advice on them, too! GL HTH
