hi
it is ot that all medicines cause side effects. Tylenol or tramadol are good.So consult a doctor.do hot fomentation and apply voltaren gel on knnes and rub it into the skin till it dries, do this twice a day.
have no fear, unless your father is known to have aany history of pain meds. intolerance or has acidity/ulcer in which case, only local application of voltaren shall suffice. marijuana is addicting and is best avoided. Ideally, an ortho surgeon should assess knees with x rays/MRI for more definitive treatment
best wishes
