Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
There is no treatment for osteoarthritis which can cure it completely. Drugs have their side effects. Best treatment is Total knee replacement. You can go ahead with it. All other treatment like massage,oil are wastage of time. Avoid squatting or sitting cross leg. Take regular calcium.
