HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to your age I would advise you to manage the knee pain with (NSAID ) 'Non-steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs' Only and best would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, and most import is to just increase the tolerance against the pain, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
