Brief Answer:
Knee pain has number of causes

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Knee pain has many causes and to help you better please tell me-
1. Do you have swelling with redness at knee or other joint?
2. Is there any improvement after having the drugs to reduce uric acid?
3. What makes the pain worse and do you ever have locking (knee become fixed in one position) of knee?
There could be injury to meniscus (washer inside the joint); ligament (cruciate ligament).This may well be confirmed by MRI of the knee joint.
Looking forward to your reply.
Take care
