Hi Sir, I am 50 years old. My knee hurts when I climb up and down the stairs. This has continued for the last 12 years. I do take regular calcium tablets and walk for an average of 3.5 km to 4 km in the morning. My height is 5 ft 7 inches and am 70 kg in weight. I am slim overall but have heavier hips compared to my body. Anything to do can you suggest to improve. No sugar, BP or thyroid.

It is mechanical problem involving your knee joints and medicines hardly has any role. Main thing is how to reduce further damage to knee joints. Reduce your weight by 4-5 kg. Avoid postures which cause pain specially squatting, sitting cross legged, reduce use of stairs as far as you can.
