She has probably developed osteoarthritis of the knees. It will need a clinical examination for confirmation. She may require a total knee replacement if the arthritis is advanced. Omega3 fatty acids shouldn't cause any worsening of the pain so don't worry.
Next Steps
Please visit an Orthopedic surgeon.
