Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
According to your symptoms and findings there is osteoarthritis of your knee.
As you want relief for your vacation you can use hinged knee brace for support so that your journey becomes comfortable. 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.
