Hi
At your mom's age, the most common cause of knee pain is Osteoarthritis (wear and tear of the knee joint).
Try the following:
*Apply hot water bag (10 minutes twice a day)
*After applying hot water bag apply Nobel Gel
*Tab Flexon (1 tablet after lunch and 1 tablet after dinner for 7 days) (if you are not allergic to it)
*Tab Pantakind (1 tablet before breakfast in the morning for 7 days)
*Avoid sitting sleeping on the floor. This is very important!
*Avoid using stairs as much as possible. If you go to a place which has a lift, use the lift even for coming down.
*Avoid using an Indian Toilet. Use a Western style toilet or a foldable toilet chair. This is also very important!
*Follow the exercise given in the video below:
