Brief Answer:
Get xray of knee done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read the query.
You haven't tell any history of trauma or prolong activity such as weightlifting or playing any game vigorously.
Anyway, If I am your treating doctor I would advise xray both knee standing in AP View to see the present condition of joint.
So get it done and send me the report.
Also get fasting blood sugar levels done as sometimes diabetes may also be the reason for all that thing you are explaining.
Avoid bending knee as much as you can like squatting and upstairs.
For pain in elbow, its definitely tennis elbow, all you need to do is have tennis elbow brace.
Avoid weightlifting and screwing movements.
For both your pains I.e knee and elbow, you can have tab.aceclofenac100mg+serratiopeptidase15mg thrice a day by prescription of your doctor as this medicine is not over the counter.
Once pain subsides numbness will also be relieved.
Apply hot packs over knee and elbow.
Also you may visit orthopedic surgeon and discuss all this with him, he will do your physical examination and act accordingly.
I hope it helps.
Thanks,
