Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
After going through your description, my advice would to find out the cause of multiple joint arthritis (poly arthritis) you may get following blood test for better control of pain- serum RA factor, ANA test,Anti CCP antibody test and serum uric acid.
To deal with acute pain of knee my advice would be in spite of heat use Ice fomentation along with Ibuprofen.
Please feel free to ask me if you have any other query. Do you have a family history of multiple joint pains?
My advice would be visit a rheumatologist/physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
Regards
