General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on the description of your symptoms, it would be better you take tablet containing Glucosamine sulphate, Potassium Chloride, Methylsulfonylmethane, Manganese, Boron, Zinc, and Copper, along with the other medication you are taking. This should help the joint in lubrication process, which will reduce the friction and subsequently pain.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
