It depends on what is causing the pain. Have you seen a doctor? If not, then I would advise that you do, to get an exam to determine what the exact cause may be so the proper treatment can be prescribed. In the mean time make sure you rest and avoid any type of activities that would aggravate it, apply ice, and take Tylenol or Advil for the pain.

Knee pain is a very complicated disorder and there are many factors for this pain. If the pain associated with the knee pain is very old then nothing can be done expect to control the pain by taking pain killers. If the pain is just started, the same can be corrected by pressing the middle joints of your ring and middle fingers both on hand and leg. Just press them for 10 to 15 minutes daily. White pressing, you will observe pain and if that pain is removed by pressing, the need pain will automatically subside. Do it on a regular basis twice a day on empty stomach. Give hot water and salt fomentation. You can also go for Bishop seeds and cooking salt in equal quantity and tie up in a cloth. Rub pain relieving gel and then heat up your knee with the Bishop seed and cooking salt bundled in a cloth, by heating up on fry pan. I am sure this will help you and save you from buying expensive medicines. Good luck and best of health.

The key to treating many types of knee pain is to break the cycle of inflammation that begins right after an injury. Even minor trauma causes your body to release substances that lead to inflammation. The inflammation itself causes further damage, which in turn triggers more inflammation and so on. But a few simple self-care measures can be remarkably effective in ending this cycle. For best results, start treating your injury right away and continue for at least 48 hours.
Commonly referred to by the acronym P.R.I.C.E., self-care measures for an injured knee include:
Protection. The best way to protect your knee from further damage depends on the type and severity of your injury. For most minor injuries, a compression wrap is usually sufficient. More serious injuries, such as a torn ACL or high-grade collateral ligament sprain usually require crutches and sometimes also a brace to help stabilize the joint with weight bearing.
Rest. Taking a break from your normal activities reduces repetitive strain on your knee, gives the injury time to heal and helps prevent further damage. Minor injuries may require only a day or two of rest, but severe damage is likely to need a longer recovery time.
Ice. A staple for most acute injuries, ice reduces both pain and inflammation. Some doctors recommend applying ice to your injured knee for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. A bag of frozen peas works well because it covers your whole knee. You can also use an icepack wrapped in thin fabric to protect your skin. Although ice therapy is generally safe and effective, don't leave ice on longer than recommended because of the risk of damage to your nerves and skin. After two days, you might try switching to heat to relax your muscles and increase blood flow.
Compression. This helps prevent fluid buildup (edema) in damaged tissues and maintains knee alignment and stability. Look for a compression bandage that's lightweight, breathable and self-adhesive. It should be tight enough to support your knee without interfering with circulation.
Elevation. Because gravity drains away fluids that might otherwise accumulate after an injury, elevating your knee can help reduce swelling. Try propping your injured leg on pillows or sitting in a recliner.

Let it rest.
You may have to see a Doctor.
I would suggest it because you may have an issue that can be easily corrected with surgery.
