Brief Answer:
Start with joint lubricant supplements.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pain that you have is related to osteoarthritis in the knee.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, Dycerin, etc. and some lifestyle modifications and physiotherapy.

You can start with walking and aerobic fitness exercises, quadriceps strengthening, patellar taping, lateral heel wedges, etc- under the guidance of your physiotherapist.

A big no to the staircase, squatting postures, any chair which has a sitting platform lower than your knees.

A knee brace can also be used for an earlier and prolonged relief.

In severe cases, intraarticular injections of steroids and hyaluronic acid may be needed after consultation with your orthopedician.

I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
