Hello Jerry,
Thanks for writing in.
From what you have written, I suggest that you consult a Rheumatologist (specialist in Joint diseases) preferably in Madurai or Chennai. He will assess the knee joint through X ray and may have better treatment options for you. He will also refer you to a Medicine specialist if he feels necessary.
