Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Osteoarthritis is an old age problem, wherein there is wear and tear of meniscal cartilages of knee. No doubt that your mother is suffering form a painful crippling disorder.
She can take Glucosamine tablets (provided she is not diabetic or diabetes is under strict control) along with analgesics whichever she is comfortable. She need to undergo Physiotherapy training for pain free movements of the joint.
If the pain is severe or unbearable, she needs approach Orthopedician to undergo arthroscopic surgery or knee replacement.
Hope the information provided would be useful. All the best.
