Suggest Treatment For Recurring Knee Pain After Injury

Hi, I am a healthy female of 37 yrs and at 5ft2in weigh approx 59kegs. Last year while playing with our daughter I fell down after which I have recurring complaints of pain in the area of tail bone, shoulders and knee etc. Consultations revealed that I had osteoporosis and I was put on medication for 3mths. Since last 3mths I am having a pain near my knees. Doctors said it was due to ligament stress and whilst they prescribed some medicines, the pain persists and since yesterday it is fairly acute. Please advice what to do.
