Hello,
It may be due to osteoarthritis. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads may help. Use knee cap. Use support while walking.
Still for further assessment you may require X-ray knee after orthopedic surgeon consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
