Unable to bend leg

My mother, Rubina Malik, is 57 years old and has diabetes. She was enrolled in Practo’s Diabetes Reversal Program. Her blood sugar readings from yesterday were: Fasting/empty stomach: 123 mg/dL Post-dinner: 188 mg/dL She weighs around 54 kg and goes for a walk twice a day. She is currently experiencing a problem in her left thigh/leg. She feels a tightness in the thigh, and she is unable to bend the leg properly.

Knee Osteoarthritis query

Last year my mother started to have knee pain in her left knee. Took her to an ortho doctor, x ray showed knee osteoarthritis and he prescribed medicines but didn't help much. He suggested surgery but mother wanted to try physiotherapy. She's only had a few sessions but physiotherapy has helped. My query is few months before her knee pain started she was hospitalised for kidney stones. After the stones were removed, doctor changed her diabetic medicines. Instead of taking Cerapin xr 500 during breakfast and dinner he prescribed Trajenta 5 during breakfast and Gluconorm SR 850 during dinner. I read Trajenta 5 side effect can cause joint pain. Can any doctor verify this? My mother doesn't have any visible swelling or redness in the knees.
