Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with osteoarthritis. Surgical correction in the form of knee replacement will be the best option. You can also try steroid injection to the joint cavity and it will provide long term pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
