Hello my friend. I did review your concern, I believe your knee pain can be because of either arthritis of inflammation or degenerative nature. I would advice you to take proper treatment after consulting a rheumatologist. A joint fluid aspiration, local xray and mri will help determining the cause of your pain. If inflammatory, you can take some medications to relieve it. If degenerative, you can take some surgical options to correct joint problem and if due to some ligament injury you will need a surgery in long run. I hope this helps. Wish you a healthy life!
