Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Knee pain can be caused by :
1) A sudden injury.
2) An overuse injury.
3) Arthritis.
Treatment will vary depending on the cause. Some advice that I can give you are:
1) Use painkillers for the pain such as Ibuprofen 400 mg.
2) Use local ointments such as Fastum gel for the pain.
3) See a rheumatologist, if the situation does not get better.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other questions, Ill be glad to help.
Thank you for the query.
Take care
