Question: Thank You for your reply. I was not aware of these much options available for relief. What can be the line of treatment in this case?
For your kind information, my father hadn't taken any medicines till now to cure the pain. We had tried physiotherapy but the situation didn't improve. What you can suggest after checking X-Ray?
As you have said, medicines can be taken. What type of medicines can we try in this case?
I have read that if knee replacement has not been done and medications has been followed, it may change the posture of the bones and the body as well. Is it right?
