hi Mr joseph , considering your symptoms . It would be arthritic pain . probably oesteoarthritis or Rheumatoid . To conform that we need to take an X ray of your right knee . Medications like NSAIDS( brufen, diclofenac) can reduce your pain but that is only symptomatic . I would also suggest you to take Blood investigations like Blood Count , ESR ,CRP , RA factor , Uric acid , to confirm the diagnosis
