Hello Dr. Shyam Bhairi here. The information about the knee which has been given, clearly points towards Osteoarthritis of knee joint which is very common at your age. The question is how bad the pain is, if it is bad enough to hamper your daily activites then you have to under go knee replacement surgery. If the pain is bearable then knee strengthening exercises done daily twice will gradually help reduce the pain. Newer modalities include radio-frequency ablation but it's a temporary treatment.
