Brief Answer:
You can take Hyaluronic viscous shot in knee joint.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You can take Hyaluronic viscous shot in knee joint.
Consult your orthopaedic doctor for injection and be aware of side effects also.
You may need to do renal function test and pelvic ultrasound.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.

Life style changes will help in reducing pain which include,
LOAD REDUCTION: Protecting the joint from excessive load may slow down the rate of cartilage loss. It is also effective in relieving pain. The heavier you are, the more stress you put on your joints. Weight reduction for obese patients, wearing shock-absorbing shoes, avoiding activities like climbing stairs and using a walking stick are worthwhile.#

Till time continue your medication.
