What are the causes of severe knee pain of both legs?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I am a 32yr old man having pain on both knees since 8 months.The severity of pain varies, and it decreases on rest and usually increases more on standing position and on climbing stairs. I also noticed that the hair on my knees has reduced since this and almost has become absent. There is no redness or swelling or change in temperature is noticed seen during the pains. Mild crepitations are also heard on bending the knees. I have a history of cervical spondilitis with disc prolapse which however is under control and not taking any medication and no history of diabetes or blood pressure. I have a bit short stature so I wear shoes with slight heels recently. I consulted a physician but he just gave me pain killers and only got temporary relief. Should I see a specialist and what type?

Condition analysis:
It would be reasonable to visit a physician with an interest in musculoskeletal medicine. This could include primary care physicians with sports medicine backgrounds, orthopaedists, or rheumatologists.

Instructions:
Fenugreek: Fenugreek is a popular home remedy for joint pain due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly beneficial for those suffering from arthritis.

-- Swallow one teaspoon of finely ground fenugreek seeds followed by a glass of lukewarm water. Do this daily in the morning until you get positive results.
-- Alternatively, you can simply soak one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in water overnight and eat them the next morning.
