Dear,
I have gone through your problem. I think, unfortunately, you are being taken for a ride. Though high uric acid and low calcium can contribute to knee pain, they don't appear to be the cause for your problem. Your problem appears to be due to something called 'chondromalacia patella'. This is a condition where the cartilage of your knee cap becomes soft and weak. Happens with excessive climbing stairs and squatting in the Indian toilet. Try avoiding stairs and using the western commode.
Also start physiotherapy - quadriceps, hamstring and VMO strengthening exercises. Low dose anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) as advised by your family physician for a week will bring down the acute pain.
Hope that helps.
