My mother is suffering from osteoarthritis she is 47yr old. She is taking Patanjali tablets(its been 3 months now) . She can't fold her right leg to full. We took x-ray of her right knee and the doctor said there is slight decrease in the cartilage. Can you please tell me the reason why she can't fold her legs properly.

Hello There. I can understand your concern. when the cartilages between the knee joint is fully eroded then any movement becomes difficult be it flexion or extension of the knee joint. i would suggest you to consult a orthopedician in person in this regards and consider a surgical form of treatment for her if possible. best regards, Dr. Anil kumar jain.
