Lot of options there to control pain due to arthritis. It is not curable. If you tried all treatment options before and still pain there- go for knee replacement. You can’t bend the knee fully even after hiflex knee. Difficulty in sitting on the floor.

Knee replacement is not answer to knee pain
Only advanced osteoarthritis of knee is an indication for osteoarthritis of knees
So please take x rays and send
Take a second or third opinion after surgery which is a major surgery
After surgery there will be limitation of movement slightly but pain will not be there
Next Steps
Please send standing x rays of both knees and send it to practo consult for detailed consultation
