If the pain is intolerable take pain medicines prescribed by a local doctor. Walk regularly. Maintain a healthy weight. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices. Do stretching and strengthening exercises for quads and hamstring muscles around the knee joint. Approach a physiotherapist to help you out with the exercises. When all this do not help opt for total knee replacement.
