I would like to see his knee X-rays. Also would want to check his knee range and muscle strength. Physiotherapy would definitely help to some extent.

Do an xray knee. Confirm whether it is osteoarthritis. Then u can go for synvisc or intra articular steroids. Physio is vital. Use western toilet. Not to sit with folded legs and climb stairs
