Knee pain: Hello, I would recommend attending an orthopedics consult, as they should need some diagnostic studios like X-ray and/or MRI, in order to perform a diagnosis and start a treatment (it's important to have pain killers controlled by a physician, as they can hurt your gastrointestinal tract and create tolerance if they are taken the wrong way).
