Hello,
You can have arthritis-like joint inflammation problem. However, you need to investigate with digital X-ray of the knee joint in all view to give the correct diagnosis.
You can revert back with reports once done. According to x-ray reports further management plan decided. Meanwhile, I suggest you investigate with serum vitamin D estimation as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
