Hi,
You may be experiencing some more minor side effects of the medication which is an NSAID. Fatigue is not uncommon depending upon how much you've taken.
The pains in the back of the head are not likely related to the knee and could be either an occipital neuralgic situation or something called jabs and jolts. Your best bet is to contact the prescribing physician and ask for their opinion. A different medication for the knee may the answer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
