| My knee will every once in a while swell up (on the right side of my left knee). The only real pain is behind my knee. What could it be? |

| Swelling of the knee can be a sign of Lyme disease. Do you have any other symptoms? |

It could be so many things, and the pain could actually be a consequence of the swelling.
But one possibility is gout. |

| OP here - no other symptoms. I've had knee problems before, but there was sharp/acute pain. The only pain here has been in the back of my knee. The rest is just the pressure from the swelling. Thanks! |

| believe it or not, you can twist your knee while sleeping. It's probably fluid build up from the trauma. I take NSAI when this happens to me. |
