I know this isn’t the right place for this but I don’t know who else to turn to. I woke up today out of the clear blue with bad knee discomfort, had no pain in there prior, literally zero. The pain is on the side of the knee. I’m 25 and I do stay active, gym 5-6 days a week. Appreciate any help

Inside or outside of the knee?
Outside
Could be tight IT band, meniscus, or LCL. feel the outside of your quads just above the knee. If it’s really tight there try to foam roll there. Your IT band could be tight due to injury/overwork/muscular imbalance.
If it feels like it’s more inside the joint it may be meniscus related/LCL related. In which case you would want to see a physician.
Now, having said that, if this just started up and it’s not too painful take a few days off and rest and relax. See if that clears it up.
Okay thanks for the response Pede
