knee pain and passing out? Anyone? | Arthritis Information

This may be another one of my silly questions. But do any you ever feel like you will pass out because of knee pain??

 
I was pulling weeds this morning (squatting down) and when I got up my knees hurt so bad and I almost blacked out! They have been pretty swollen lately. Luckily I just fell on my butt.
 
My friend was playing softball when she was a teenager and she passed out while in the outfield. Her knees were REALLY swollen, I mean bad. That is how they found out she had JRA.
 
Is there a connection between knees and passing out?! You always here of people locking their knees and passing out. I think that is odd and wondering why it happens.
severe pain especially sudden pain can cause a vagus reaction leading to passing out
