hi . What is the stage of Osteoarthritis in your mother? The treatment varies from few days to years . Generally Kondro does not have this kind of side effects but from this weakness she will recover fast. If she has early stage Osteoarthritis then medicines + Exercises + local viscosupplementation/ PRP injection may help but in later stages only Joint replacement will be of help.
