1. since bone density is reduced, and your height is 151 cm (5'1") thus you should seek opinion of an Orthopedic surgeon regarding chances of Osteoporosis and also for Vitamin D therapy.
2. you should also check with baseline investigations like blood sugar, Blood pressure, lipid profile.
3. Osteoarthritis can be due to Age or Weight, and going by your parameters it seems that you have developed the pathology due to early age and short height putting weight on your knees.
4. Avoid: peas,chickpeas,split red gram,bitter gourd, jamun,suapri,night waking, excess walking and over eating.
5. take: wheat,brown rice,black gram,brinjal,garlic,pomegranate,mango, almonds,lemon,black grapes,ghee,oil,sesame(black),coconut water,tamarind.
6. Dry Heat (with use of hair dryer), Quadriceps exercises/knee cap, use of walking stick.
7. Avoid sitting on floor/climbing stairs as far as possible, use commode
8. Consult with an ayurveda physician regarding use of: Yograj Guggulu,maha rasnadi kwatha (decoction),trifla churan.

Dear Mam,
Greetings !
At this age this problem has become very common these days in females.Its very good that you are taking calcium and doing Yoga.That will really help you.But as you are having severe pain at time that is happening because of poor or weak ligaments around joints and joint is having wear and tear.What damage has been done can not be reversed but it can be checked at this stage.But with Ayurveda medicines we have seen very good relief in symptoms and general well being of patients and live a very normal life.

Hi
I believe the use of Laksha adi guggul and praval pishti will restore the bone density. Osteo arthritis for last five years at this age calls for vigorous treatment to eradicate the disease. A detailed history on this front can let me suggest some panch karma to make life pain free.
