Hi thanks for the query.
From the complaints you described I could make out that she is suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee joint. That is wear and tear in the joints of the knee and is age related problem. First it is better to consult an orthopedician and get an xray. Depending on the stage of wear and tear orthopedic surgeon will advise regarding medication, exercise, any local injections, and surgery if necessary.
