Hello,
Thanks for your query.
What is your Height and weight? Are you Diabetic or Hypertensive? Do you have any knee pain? Since how long are you experiencing this? You should be getting yourself examined by a Orthopedist to rule out Osteoarthritis. You might require to get a X ray done to confirm Osteoarthritis and a blood test to rule out any other Problem? Until confirmed no medication can be prescribed.
Avoid stress and get adequate rest. Sleep for 8 hours daily and eat healthy nutritious balanced diet, which should include fresh fruits and green leafy veggies. If you are overweight, try reducing your weight.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
