Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



You may be suffering from bilateral knee osteoarthritis.

The permanent solution for bilateral knee osteoarthritis is knee replacement. Physical therapy, exercise and heat and cold compression may helpful. Take calcium and vitamin deficiencies supplements. use Bisphosphonates for osteoporosis under your doctor guidance.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
