Hello sir, Firstly understand that many conditions can lead finally to osteoarthritis, if it's only due to old age then rhematologist has no role in its management. Further osteoarthritis due to old age is an ageing process so all the drugs an exercises can only delay it's progression but can't completely halt it. So eventually it would need surgery, I'm doing a research work over newer surgeries like Pfo( proximal fibular osteotomy) whish is a minor, easier and cheaper surgery than complete replacement. So please meet an orthopaedic surgeon and think about surgery as it is inevitable. Hope she gets better soon.

Try: 1. Regular knee quadriceps exercises ( static and knee bending). 2. Ice pack application will help 3.Medications like Cartigen DN and Enzomac forte will help. 4. Intraarticular injections offer great help .

Consult physiotherapist for proper knee management. If it has been diagnosed as Osteoarthritis and other joint conditions have been ruled out through blood tests, just follow proper exercise regime under a physio along with medicines prescribed.

U should visit to the Physiotherapist for improvement of knee pain. Only physiotherapy can help in strengthening of knee joint and to improve muscles. So visit to the best Physiotherapist near by.
