Hi there
Thanks for the query
Usually knee pain of this duration could be really signs of Osteoarthritis or added together with Vitamin D deficiency
Do get tested for Blood Vitamin D levels. Do get an Xray of the knee joint in AP and Lateral views.
Avoid knee bending, cross leg sitting, climbing stairs and kneeling as much as possible.
Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day for 5 days before meals.
Eat healthy and keep well hydrated.

Consume cheese and paneer moderately as well. Get 1.5 hours of sunlight exposure between 3:00PM to 4:00PM daily. Use sunscreen as well during this time.
