Brief Answer:
Visit orthopedic surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Symptoms you are explaining are either due to arthritis of knee joint, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes etc.

So I would like to advise you to have a visit for orthopedic surgeon.

You haven't mentioned that any doctor had checked your xray of knee joint, colour doppler Lower limb, fasting blood sugar levels.

Anyways, get above investigations done and send me the report.

Till then keep on taking medication which you are already taking, add tab.fluoxetine by discussing it with your doctor.

Apply hot packs.

I hope it helps.
