Hello. From your description, it seems she is suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Although joint replacement is the ideal treatment, there are other options like viscosupplentation for her, which is non-operative and gives reasonable enough pain relief. Contact any rheumatologist or orthopedician for opinion. With adequate treatment, medicines and physiotherapy, she can live a near-normal life. Hope this helps.

Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
if you keep fearing that a doctor may advise for operation, will you keep postponing ?
a doctor will advise only if she needs it, she can deny surgery if she doesn't want to.
kindly consult a orthopaedic surgeon in person for further evaluation and management it may be osteoarthritis.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
