Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Definitive treatment for arthritis at age 58 is joint replacement. How she was diagnosed with arthritis? Knee arthritis is mostly due to degenerative arthritis and known as osteoarthritis. Which is very common at this age. Reason for shoulder arthritis needs to be searched for. Was any Xray done? If not done I would advise Xray of involved knee anteroposterior and lateral views and Xray of involved shoulder with clavicle anteroposterior views to confirm diagnosis. You need to consult expert arthroplasty surgeon nearby your area with Xray report. Meanwhile take tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day for pain relief. All the best.
