Long list of things: Good for you for being such a good friend, trying to help your friend with his or her knee pain. You did not mention your friend's age or gender. Any previous injuries? Have your friend see his/her family doctor or internist. Can also consider consulting an orthopedic surgeon, physiatrist (pm&r), or rheumatologist. Good luck.
