This issue is due to osteoarthritis of knee joints. The joint space between the bones is reduced leading to loss of cartilage and rubbing of bony surfaces against each other.
Next Steps
Pls start with hot fomentation, apply knee cap for support, start analgesic tablet, calcium and vitamin d supplement.
Health Tips
Avoid heavy work, avoid sitting down, avoid Indian toilet, avoid stair climbing and descending..
