Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to genus arthritis. I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to treat the pain. I also suggest to use cold compresses for local application. Physical therapy can also be helpful in pain relief. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
