Hello,
Pain at the lateral side of knees may be due to meniscal injury or joint labrum tear or it may be due to arthritis.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid excessive stress on them.
Take rest use cold and warm compression. Use NSAIDs for pain if necessary.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
