Hi there,
thank you for your question on healthcare magic.
Your osteoarthritis seems have worsened as indicated by the increased pain in the right knee, as you say.
You need to take oral NSAIDs as your case seems moderately severe.These are prescription drugs so I advice you to ask your healthcare provider for the drugs.
If oral NSAIDs are not enough, you may need intraarticular steroids as second line measure.
Hope this helps.
