Hello,
It could be arthritis. We have to rule out other causes like ligament injury as it can also present with similar symptoms.
As a first line management analgesics like tramadol can be taken.
In severe cases MRI knee may be required to get a better clinical picture.
Avoid strenuous physical exercises and weights bearing also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
