welcome to Health care magic.
1.This kind of pain could be seen in age related problems like (Degenerative changes - reduced joint space when bones rub each other thinned out cartilage)
2.As you said you are anaemic, in this cases it could be osteoporosis ( reduced bone density)
3.I would recommend initially x-ray hip and Knee joints and then MRI if necessary.
4.Dont make a habit of taking pain killers, try to find out the cause and act accordingly.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
