Hello @catwoman and welcome to the online community,
You’re quite within your rights to ask for up to date x-rays on your knees if you feel they are getting worse. Before your appointment , it might be useful to jot down a list of points you can talk about with your GP - for example how the pain affects you on a daily basis , when the pain is worse, things that you can’t do now that you could do when you had your previous x-ray, and also the ways that you have tried to do to help ease the pain.
You might find the link below useful - it talks about hand and wrist pain and has some suggestions about how to help alleviate it.
Do let us know how you get on,
