My mother has knee pain.
My mother has been having knee pain for 2-3 months now. We consulted some doctors, they prescribed Calcium (and vitamin D I guess) tablets and mother has been taking it. However, her knees pain continues. Is there some exercise she should do(or should not do) ? Or some food items that she should consume (or should not) for a better recovery ?
