Hi!
I read carefully your query.
I think that you have degenerative disease of knee which may be:
- Inflamatory ( Arthrit rheumatoid,etc)
- Traumatic chronic
Whoever is your problem is a solution in elementary phase is conservative treatment with pain killer,kondroitin and not to strain youself but first of all you should consult with rheumatologist for the first problem and with orthopedist for the second.
In advanced disease your problem should treat by orthopedist doing surgery.
Anyway sport like swimming( without gravity) will help you.
Wishing you all best and fast recovery.
