Don't want to make worse I'm going to ring gp
Currently nursing left knee injury, GP dismissed it as Arthritis after asking a few questions, and gave me some strong painkillers. However they can cause stomach issues, and already having a Hiatus Hernia, decided I'd be better off not taking them.... Instead, got an Appointment with a Physio, she has been somewhat more thorough and thinks its soft tissue damage rather than arthritis, so has advised some exercises and is putting (I think) a TENS Machine on it at my appointments.
Need to see a GP though in first instance, there is also a condition called 'Bursitis', which would need antibiotics to sort. Hope you get it sorted, know how painful mine can be.

Ice packs - SWMBO just had both knees done, only thing that touches it is knee pads with ice packs in them. Now when I've been on my knees all day, even on my kneeling pads and I straighten up, then it's transfer weight bearing that's painful. I bang the packs on when I get home till they warm up, sorts them right out for the next day.
Gets to my right knee especially, old repetitive injury from years of ice hockey, always going down on the outside of my right knee where pads didn't protect, so now have a dead spot to the right and below kneecap and if I catch my foot sideway with any lateral movement it sends a shock right through it.

Oh, you'll be waiting for months.
Get a plumber to have a look instead!
When trying to straighten it after being in one position for too long. Can put weight on it, and no signs of it giving way, no tender spots either to begin with but site of pain seems to have moved now, more to the inside, and pressing on a certain area on the inside of the knee is uncomfortable.
I use these:

I suffer with the odd bit of knee pain now and then. It’s been particularly bad lately since I twisted it when I slipped over getting out of a shower in France a few weeks ago. Hurts more going up or down a hill. When I was a young apprentice, an old mechanic told me to always keep a rag in my pocket so that when I kneel down, you kneel on the rag so that your knee is not on the cold concrete floor. I wish I’d listened more to him but you don’t at that age, do you?
Knee pads are the way to go, although i tend to get that kind of persistent pain in my arms, especially if i overdo any digging to be done. Pads can be a bit sweaty and hard to get a shirt over them so i tend to liberally apply voltarol over affected joints and use a stretch bandage over the sore spot. Then use a cold spray to numb the pain. Works for a while. Then i just repeat the process, grit my teeth and get on with it.
