Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On Knees

My right knee has been hurting me now off and one for 2 years and it seems to hurt pretty much all day long. I had an MRI back in 2/2013 and the doctor said it was most likely arthritis. I have a little swollen patch on the lower part of right knee and also on the left side of my right knee.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
what is your age?do you have any history of trauma? If you are 50 plus and with no trauma then considering long duration of symptoms it is mostly osteoarthritis. And definitive treatment of osteoarthritis is knee replacement. Life style modifications may reduce symptoms. Avoid squatting and cross legged position. Do physiotherapy for quadriceps and hamstrings strengthening excersise and hot water fomentation. This measure will reduce symptoms.
