Hello,
1. Exercise regularly - This help in keeping the joints flexible, encouraging nourishment of the cartilage, and strengthen the surrounding tissues.
2. Eat plenty of green vegetables and fruits- This help is further destruction of cartilage and other soft tissues. Because these are rich in nutrients and antioxidants.
3. If your weight is excess for your height, then you must try to lose weight any cost.
4. Take enough rest and sleep without any disturbance.
5. Protect your self from injuries to knee
6. Apply heat bag once in four hours for about 20 minutes to relieve severe pain.
Please follow my advises.
If you found the things above said are not helpful, then it is better to go with your primary care physician.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
