IMHO. Medicines have no role in healing of the ligaments. It is only the appropriate rest and the rehabilitation that helps them to function. Your pain can be due to instability secondary to ligament injuries and more importantly due to the patellofemoral joint issues in the left injured knee. Pain in the right knee and hip is due to your overuse of that leg since almost a year as a compensation.
Next Steps
you require a review. do a skyline view of both knees. meanwhile avoid sitting on lower heights, take a stick, do stretching exercises.
