Knee pain for my mother.
One of the visited doctor suggested to have a knee surgery for my mother. Could you please let me know at what kind of situations and at what age they should go for a knee surgery? Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can avoid the surgery.

If the cartilage between two major bones of a leg is totally damaged, then there is no option other than surgery; provided general physical condition permits. Ayurveda has part of panchakarma to relieve arthritis pain & it need to be periodically done. This option is applicable after seeing the X-ray/ MRI reports
