Why wouldn't my knee work last night?

Woke up in the night to go to loo, swung legs out of bed, started standing, then collapsed in a heap on the floor. Right knee would not support weight at all. If I locked it out straight I could hobble along, but any normal walking resulted in falling over. No pain, no pins and needles, no numbness.

What the bugger was going on? I used to fall over a lot due to sciatica when I was pregnant, but that hurt. This didn't.

Quite often my left arm doesn't work at all for a minute or two after I've woken up, regardless of the position I've slept in.

Anyone else had this?

That doesn't sound right. Best to get checked out.

It hasn't happened again. If it does I will go to GP. I googled and couldn't find anything like it.
