Hello,

The thyroid gland is one of the major endocrine gland of our body. It secrets thyroxin hormone which is helpful in controlling some major functions of our body. It also control the bone health. Looking at your details it looks that you may have a thyroid disorder. I will advise you to get your thyroid function test and a thyroid scan to rule out any abnormality. If this is abnormal then this can be cause of your knee pain also. At present you may have mild analgesic like advil / ibuprofen for relief.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
