Hello,
The symptoms can be related to osteoarthritis. I suggest you do an x-ray of the knee. I also suggest doing a blood test, PCR level, and rheumatoid factor level. I also recommend to follow up with a rheumatologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
