Hi,

The cause for your knee pain seems like an acute exacerbation of the pre-existing Osteoarthritis (OA). Please consider taking calcium supplements on a daily basis. This is available over the counter. I suggest you this, in view of your OA and also your age and being a woman. For the relief of pain, you may take simple analgesics like Paracetamol three times a day for 2 to 3 days after food. You may also try analgesic gels like Diclofenac gel locally on the knee joint.

Hope I have answered your query. Please do write back for follow up queries that you may have.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
