Hello,

It can be age related Osteoarthritis condition. Digital x-ray of knee joint can be helpful in work up for knee pain.

For Osteoarthritis, vitamin D and calcium tablet can be prescribed If needed (if low calcium level). Physiotherapy is beneficial in Osteoarthritis. Reduce weight if obesity is the problem.

Glucosamine containing tablet can be useful in Osteoarthritis. Depending on grade of Osteoarthritis treatment plan decided. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
