Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.
After going through your query I think You are suffering from osteoarthritis of both knee joint because your weight is more.
You need further investigation by x ray of both knee joints in standing position.
Analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) whenever pain is helpful in pain relief. You need to take omeprazole 20 mg before meals so that digestion problem does not occur due to it.
Diacerinre and glucosmine sulfate protect cartilage from breakdown and help in cartilage regeneration.
Quadriceps exercises is started after pain relief.
Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised (if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required).
You need to test your T3,T4,and TSH to rule out hypothyroidism as you are gaining weight in spite of being active.
You can discuss with your treating doctor.
I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
