Hi if it is only knee joint problem physiotherapist can help. Relief depends on the G conditions of the Pt & severity of arthritis. Definitely cold packs twice a day will help. Avoid cross leg sitting & low level sitting. Use some lint of support like a stick, knee cap , weight relieving splints -.orthosis. Do non weight bearing exercises.
