Hello sir
From your x ray it appears you r suffering from Knee arthritis and from the doctors notes appears you also have a deformity in coronal and sagittal planes restricting knee movements.
Its better to get your knee replaced than relying on medications. Physiotherapy and meds will give you temporary relief to some extent but not complete. Get your knee examined from a joint replacement surgeon and if willing should undergo this rewarding surgery.
