Hi,
Sorry that you are suffering from pain
First I would like to tell you that Osteoarthritis is a disease of our life style and aging. There are many other medicine available, you can discuss with your doctor. Diacerein is one of the drug, which you can discuss about.
But here some exercises and physiotherapy which can help you more. you should discuss with your physiotherapy. You can also consider hot water fomentation on knee
Hope this will help.
