Hello
May be due to osteoporosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of calcium level in the blood .
Vitamin D 3 deficiency may be the responsible for such pain .
Osteoarthritis is the most prominent reason of such pain and swelling in knee joints , so get in blood as well C T scan of both knee joints.
One more reason of such pain is rheumatoid arthritis so get in blood for rheumatic factor .
In my opinion at once consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion regarding this disease.
Good luck.
