Hello. it seems you have used almost all remedies that can be used. but without examining the areas it's futile to suggest anything. I'll suggest you see an orthopedic-surgeon first.

Dear Patient,

There are a number of conditions causing this kind of pain. Before we discuss treatment we first need some imaging tests like x-ray and CT scans of your joints. Your medications seem good but your symptoms seem a little intense. Do you have redness or swelling of your joint? It is possible that you may be developing some bone disease or arthritis God forbid since your pain and stiffness are chronic. You could visit our specialist if you like. Surgery may not be necessary at all. Some lifestyle changes and care with medications can help.
