Osteoarthritis: Your description sounds like osteoarthritis. You can try over the counter meds for relief but if no improvement, go see your regular doctor.

Many possibilities: Stiffness and aching of the knees can be due to many things such as gout, infection, inflammation of the bursa, or due to tendon, cartilage, or bone abnormalities. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
