If patient is not fit for surgery or is not willing for surgery, instead of long term pain killers, some pain management treatment modalities work wonderfully. Modalities like radio-frequency ablation of nerves around knee joint, prolotherapy, PRP, dry needling can work according to the grade of osteoarthritis. Visit nearby pain specialist to know which is the best treatment modality for your mother. Hope this solves your query
