Knee pain chronic. To hope for?

Which side knee is affected(left/right/both)? Does it hurt at a specific site or region of the knee? Does the pain increase with some specific activities and/or position? Are the movements of the knee joint restricted? Are there any other symptoms like giving away feelings, buckling, locking, swelling , apprehension, hip/low back pain or any other symptoms? Is there any history of trauma/injury/ twisting? What is your weight and height? What is the nature of your work?

Needs detailed physical examination. Plain Xray of the affected knee AP/Lat( if not done yet). May require MRI (3 Tesla)

Correct diagnosis is a must to treat the root cause. Mean while - Rest, ice fomentation, elevation will give some relief. Life style modifications such as avoid sitting cross legged, avoid squatting, use of western commode, avoid or restrict climbing stairs will slow give relief and slow down/delay the progression of the current condition.
