Hi, Apply hot pack twice daily at your knees and ankle. And do some active exercises of ankle and knees, and activities like cycling, walking and swimming will also help. You can apply any pain relieving gel/spray. Visit a physiotherapy clinic as in physiotherapy there are various machines like it, tens and heat therapy which will give you a pain relief. Along with that, graded patient centered exercise regime will surely help you in muscle strengthening and pain relief. Have diet rich in calcium and vitamin C and protein. It will help in muscle strengthening and to increase bone density. Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
