Difficult when: Work is needed but pain is constantly there. I would suggest asking if there is anyway to sit during work. Assuming knee pain is basic osteoarthritis and not acute injury, try different shoes and include a lateral shoe wedge to offload the medial compartment. Also institute a strengthening program to work on quad and hamstring strength to support the knee. I hope employer allows position change.
