By your description , it appears to be osteoarthritis, meaning age related wear and tear. basic management is by exercises, weight control, medication, and physiotherapy. Since these are not very effective in your case , kindly get x ray of knees done - AP (standing), Lateral and skyline views. Kindly review with me in my clinic at Punjabi Bagh with these x rays for assessment of the range of motion, ligament strength, etc. for further management
