Brief Answer:
Likely early osteoarthritis or vitamin D deficiency.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Reports are in normal range except elevation of ESR which is indicative of some inflammation.
There are two possibilities.
One is early osteoarthritis of knee joint as there is some reduction in joint space in medial joint space in x ray but age does not support diagnosis. Daicerine, glucosamine and quadriceps excercises are helpful. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in pain relief.
Second possibility is vitamin D deficiency as it can also cause such pains, so you can get vitamin D level and if found low you can get its supplements.
In this context, I would order for MRI of knee joint. MRI knee joint will be more informative. We can plan the treatment based on MRI result. You may discuss my view with the treating doctor.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
