yes, you can sleep in a poor posture that can give you pain pretty much at any joint.

Last time I worked out, I did upper body, followed by an Eliptical HIIT seesion. Then I finished up with some stretches. I had NO pain during my work out nor did I feel ANY pain afterwards. I went to school and studied. Then I came home and studied. I even took 600mg of Ibprofruen for my throat before I went to bed (allergies)...
Then I wake up and the medial, anterior portion of my knee hurts when I first stand and take a couple steps. Basically, it hurts at extension.
Can you actually...sleep wrong to elicit pain at the KNEE? I can see other joints and especially muscles, but the knee?!

The real test is how long it lasts and if it repeats.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
My suggestion? Work the kink out by finding Andrew Meyer and kicking him in his ass.

Son of a bitch. I remember my father telling me the human body is really fragile when compared to most animals. (dad went to medical school)
Well, if my knee doesnt feel any better tomorrow, I guess my quad dominant workout is surely out.Then again, I have allergies anyway.

Do you sit in one position for a long time?
Do you cross your legs when sitting?
Do you raise your knees against the bottom of a desk (unaware) for long periods?
These kind of things can lead to problems.
Try sleeping on your back at night with a pillow under your knees for a little elevation.
When I was getting my shoulder worked on, the physiotherapist had me relax with one of these....and damn it felt good in the legs (even 15 mins worth of relaxing).
