Brief Answer:
Get xray done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

From the symptoms you are explaining you may be developing osteoarthritis of knee joint (if there is no previous trauma).

In my opinion you should get xray of both knees standing in AP View and send me the report.

I want to see present condition of your joint space and compare with another knee joint.

Till the have tab.aceclofenac100mg+thiocolchicoside4mg twice a day by prescription of your family doctor.

Avoid squatting and upstairs.

I hope you got the answer.

Thanks,

Dr.CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
