Taking painkiller is not the solution of the problem she is having in the knee. Try alternative sources of pain relief, and aim for management of the pathology. Rather than symptomatic relief which is temporary.
Next Steps
Share knee xrays.. Consult online.

It’s already long term (18 months !!) And pain is not relieved as well because Tramadol only modulates the reaction to pain in the brain, does not act at the site of injury ( cartilage of the hip and knee joints) It’s not good for long term use
Next Steps
Get a proper consult with xrays and clinical exam ( online consult can be done too!)
