Its showing that supporting cartilage (cushion in knee) is a little damaged. There are good therapies like PLatelet rich plasma injections which can help this heal. Better would be to consult in person.
This type of osteoarthritis changes will increase if left alone. Pain killers are onlyva temporary solution.
Next Steps
Consult with a Pain management specialist.
