hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI of the knee.
As the pain can be due to degenerative changes in the knee joint an MRI can suggest the possible changes. Also, by understanding the medication you are talking it looks they are mentioned for the cartilage related issues.
As medicine are symptomatic and for long term rehabilitation physical therapy is recommended and research has good evidence on a positive note.
In my clinical practice patients with knee pain are advised physical therapy and they respond well.
