Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic. After going through your query I came to know that ou are suffering from early osteoarthritis of left knee joint . Analgesics slow release tablets is helpful in pain relief. Diacerine and glucosmine sulfate(Tab Orcerin) protect cartilage from breakdown and help in cartilage regeneration. So your prescribed drugs will be beneficial as these will repair and prevents the damage caused by disease process. Quadriceps exercises is started after pain relief. You are advised not to squat and avoid walking on uneven surfaces .You can discuss with your treating doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
