It does sound like you may have irritated soft tissues/joints/nerves in your knees. Are you trying icing, compressions and elevation in addition to resting? Have you tried putting lidocaine patches or roll-on and/or Voltaren gel (topical for inflammation) on your knees?

No I haven't really tried much except resting but I still don't know if I am resting enough. Do you think icing after 2 months is still helpful? i will look into the gel

Another thought is you irritated soft tissues/nerves/joints in hips/pelvis and/or low back which can affect legs/knees, too. Try the topicals first on knees and then try on low back and gluteal muscles/hips to see if that helps any. I have bilateral gluteal tendinopathy and bilateral high grade partial hamstring tears that were diagnosed with MRI. It took a long time for this to heal due to injured tendons and my knees have been affected as a result of weakness in hips/legs. Cortisone injections are an option if they detect inflammation in your knees or hips via ultrasound/MRI.
