Knee and ankle osteoarthritis

2017-06-03 18:45:48
My mother is 60 years old and she is having trouble in walking. If she stands for 30 minutes, she gets swelling in ankle joints. Her knees are swollen most of the time. Knee pain is not continuous, but if she walks or stands for sometime she gets swelling and pain. Orthopaedic suggested surgery told she has OA. Is there any medication to cure OA?
