Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Knee
Osteoarthritis of both knees
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
According to attached X-rays there is osteoarthritis of both knees with osteoporosis. The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin , dycerin, etc and some life style modifications and physiotherapy. f oral medicines are not helping then injections are a good option.
Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years. She can take them after consulting an orthopaedic surgeon.
I hope this answers your query.
