Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the knee that you have specially while getting up is likely to be related to arthritic changes in the knee joint. This can also happen due to an inflammation of the bursa- bursitis. A direct examination and X-ray will help in proper diagnosis. Till then you can do a hot compress and take mild pain killers for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
