Try intrarticular injections first. If pain does not improve with injections and exercises then TKR for sure. Wait till symptoms delevop for a TKR. But exercises should be started now.

Your doctor is right. Doesn’t matter what the X-rays say. If she’s painless, no need for surgery. There’s no upper limit for age for a knee replacement. She can get one even at 85
