question: I have a knee pain to the inner side of my knee. It is painful at night when it touches the bed and is getting worse. It has been coming on gradually and getting worse over the last year. I walk a lot but this is now restricted to much shorter distances before I have to stop with the knee pain. I am 74 and active and currently expecting an operation to my foot (a scarf osteotomy) and I also have arthritis in my hands which has deformed the fingers. Thank you.
