hi you are suffering fro chronic arthritis knee with instability and severe pain which is worse at night. You also had steroid injections but pain is persisting. In my opinion and with these symptoms and since you are not even to sleep properly I would recommend you should undergo knee replacement as early as possible to continue living your life normally .You can try taking PRP injections in the knee joints which may give you some relief.
