Suggest Treatment For Painful Osteoarthritis In Knee

I have bad osteoarthritis in my knee and (under doctor s advice) take 200gm Celebrex daily and continuously. I ve done this for several years without side-effects and GP checks it with blood tests etc. My knee is still painful and it s difficult to walk so have started to also take 1or 2, 500gm panadol each day too. This helps a bit. Is this ok? My GP is keen to defer knee replacement as long as possible, but am not sure when I should seriously consider doing it. Your advice is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Total knee joint replacement patient find good difference in mobility after joint replacement.
So you can do TKR after consulting joint replacement surgeon, there will not be any problem probably.

Post operative Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises for early recovery.
