A quarter of a tab of bute.  It has risks 
(http://www.focusonmedications.com/Script/Main/Art.asp?li=MNI&ArticleKey=709) 
and will give you a unique queasy feeling for about 48 hours, but it 
will take care of your knee pain (I've only used it once, when a 
severe flare-up of plantar fasciitis left me barely able to walk or 
care for my horse at a ride -- I knew the blood disorder risks but 
apparently dodged the bullet.)  Not for casual use.
