Osteoarthritis Knee

Please share xray Arthritis is treatable Newer high flex knee allow sitting crosslegged

Thank you for reaching out. From what you’ve described, your father’s knee pain, stiffness, and bending while walking are commonly seen in advanced knee arthritis or age-related degeneration. The good news is that not all patients require surgery, and we always begin with the least-invasive options. Non-invasive / Minimal-intervention options we can try: 1. Medication & Supplements – Anti-inflammatory medicines (as needed), Vitamin D, calcium, and joint-support supplements. 2. Physiotherapy – Specific exercises to strengthen the thigh muscles and improve balance can significantly reduce pain and improve walking. 3. Guided Injections (non-surgical): • Viscosupplementation (gel injection) to improve joint lubrication • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for selected patients These are done OPD-based and allow him to continue normal activities. 4. Lifestyle Adjustments – Avoid prolonged sitting on the floor if it aggravates pain, but we can tailor a plan so he doesn’t feel restricted. Regarding his concern about surgery: Modern knee replacement techniques allow patients to sit cross-legged and perform day-to-day activities, depending on flexibility and recovery. However, since he prefers to avoid surgery, we will focus on conservative management first and see how much relief he gets.
