I have constant pain around my knees and in the lower thighs, the pain wakes me up at night. Should I go to the emergency room?

If you have constant pain around your knees and in your thighs that is waking you up at night, it may be a good idea to try taking pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Be sure to check for any contraindications before taking them. If there is no improvement after 48 hours or if the pain gets worse, it would be advisable to seek medical attention.
