hi mam/sir,even in knee joint arthritis,these symptoms do occur.if your age is >40yrs and knee pain is severe,restricting some of your movements,you can have some pain relief medication like tab.ACECLOFENAC twice daily for 5 days.after pain relief just consult a physical therapist and learn quadriceps strenghtening exercises.if you have some renal issues,uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure and age>60yrs,avoid above tablet and use tab.PARACETAMOL WITH TRAMADOL COMBINATION.if you have any gastric irritation,take tab.PANTOPRAZOLE before food.if the symptoms persist,you can consult an orthopedic surgeon.take care.bye.
