The knee pain is not due to any vitamin deficiencies. It is due to your sitting habits that has lead to weakness of muscles around knee and hip and development of patellofemoral pain. Focus on sitting habits and don't overstuff yourselves with vitamins to develop toxicity.
Next Steps
we can do a teleconsultation if you want.
