Hi there
Thanks for the query
I have read your queries and understood your problem. Here are the answers to your queries-
There is less chance for cartilage to regenerate in your case because already bone is rubbing on bone.
I cannot prescribe on this Internet platform but you can take Tablet Glucosamine and Diacerin.
Do knee extension exercises to straighten the knee. Avoid much knee bending.
Lot of walking is known to cause more wear and tear to the knee and not necessarily injury that can cause arthritis.
You can get better relief with injection or full cure with total knee replacement.
You are doing everything well. Avoid running. Swimming is fine. Losing weight is a good solution to reduce symptoms.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards,
Aashish Raghu

Doctor sorry to disturb you, i think it is my last question:
1) Shall I take Cartigen forte, Glucosamine and Diacerin 3 tabs.
2) When I went to pain Management Doctors wrote me Gabapin NT and Gabapin 100 and Gabapin 400NT.
3) Paracetamol doesnot help me. Can you suggest any alternate medicine which gives ample relief. Is Flexura D safe to take every day.

Detailed Answer:
No trouble at all. Please feel free to ask whatever questions on your mind.
You can take Cartigen Forte and Diacerin once a day.
Gabapin may help in pain due to nerve damage for example due to Diabetes.
Flexura D has Diclofenac which is harmful in long term, can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure. Injection will give significant relief but since your family isn't happy with this idea it may not be possible for you.
