Hello,
I have studied your case.
Yes you can take online prescription ,but you have to search sites which will provide online medication.
According to your symptoms and findings there is osteoarthritis of your knee.
. Continue medication prescribed to you.
You can start cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate, that you need to take for couple of months.
If required MRI knee can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
If you are satisfied with answer do not forget to give rating to this answer.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
