Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Go for x-ray knee and find out the cause, there might be having some problem with knee joint.
Possibility of having varicose veins is to be kept in mind.
If require consult vascular surgeon and take advice.
Give her Calcium, vitamin A, D supplements.
Ask her to do patellar exercise.
Avoid squatting or do not bend more from the joint.
You can try Knee cap for pain.
Ok and bye.
