Brief Answer:
Arthritis is not curable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcare magic. Arthritis means damage to knee cartilage. Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for knee arthritis, and we can just slow its development. For this you can take following steps.
1.Avoid squatting and sitting cross leg.
2.Try to reduce your body weight.
3.Take Glucosamine and chondritin sulphate with XXXXXXX hip extract and collagen. There is no evidence to prove that these medications are effective, yet we prescribe them as there is some reduction in pain.
4.Take 1000 mg calcium daily as weak bones can cause more pain. Also check vitamin D3 and take 60000 unit vitamin D per week for six weeks.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
