Having knee pain
With no activity or contact, woke up with knee pain. No swelling. Can't put weight on it. Hurts to bend. Walk w bad limp. After walking a bit, it loosens up some. But once I sit for a while it stiffens back up.

This is most likely degenerative Osteo arthritis to start with. Reduce weight if u are obese. Start with chondro-protective medications as prescribed by your orthopaedic. Quadricep and VMO exercises will help initially, but you have to religiously follow them if u want to avoid replacement at an early age. Get an xray done for knowing the stage of degeneration and consult your orthopaedic.
