Dear patient
there are many reasons for knee pain depending on age. we should confirm diagnosis and best investigation for knee pathology is Mri of the knee.
If pain is in both knees likely pathology is inflammatory arthritis in young age and osteoarthritis in elderly age. Blood tests like Serum RA factor to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. Mri should be done from radiology centre nearby you. I am not prescribing any medicine as you told you are already taking many of them. please follow up with reports
