Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your knee pain can occur due to causes like overexertion, aging while can also be due to certain disorders like Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, torn meniscus, knee bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, gout, infections etcetera.

If the pain continues you should get yourself tested. I would suggest you consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray, MRI Scan, blood test etcetera can be done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be done accordingly.

As of now you can take an anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone, apply an analgesic gel over the knees and put knee braces. Limit exertion as it can add up to pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,      
Dr. Honey Arora
