See orthopedist: Sounds as though it is time to go see an orthopedists and get this thing evaluated you have used some "big gun" meds so far without result so it is time in the mean time try wrapping the knee with plastic wrap at bed time it sometimes works miracles
if not it is at least cheap with no sig side effects
good luck.
