Maybe cirulation. The small amount of ionizing radiation from TV, most computor monitors and such apparently cause thickening of the blood, thus decreasing ciculation for many people and causing pain. Especially if you sleep on the joint in question. I drink a bottle of water between TV and bed, to thin my plasma. Or just keep the TV off 24hrs.
