Brief Answer:
If pain is persistent MRI knee can be done
Detailed Answer:
HelloXXXXXX
I have studied your case with diligence.
Bilateral knee pain can be due to arthritis, or there can be meniscus injury.
As per your reports there is Vit D,3 deficiency ,so I will advise Cap uprise D3 60 k once in a week for 3 months.
For your persistent knee pain, MRI knee will be helpful in diagnosis [rootcause]. MRI will focus on any type of like that of meniscus. Further bilateral knee pain secondary to arthritis can be excluded with blood investigation like RA factor, CRP,uric acid,ESR will help in further confirming diagnosis.
At your age without any history of trauma or injury probability of any defect is least likely.
You need to do proper physiotherapy protocol to strengthen your quadriceps and hamstring muscles, and reducing spasm of muscle will help.
Knee support like knee cap or hinged knee brace will be helpful,
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.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
