Both of your mother's knees may suffer from severe osteoarthritis, which causes the knee joints to become uncomfortable and worn out. In addition to surgery, therapeutic options include weight management, mild physical therapy, knee-strengthening exercises, hot compresses, walking assistance such as a stick or knee brace, and prescription painkillers. An orthopaedic expert may also offer knee injections or calcium/vitamin D supplements for some patients. Steer clear of excessive stair climbing, floor sitting, and knee strain. She should see an orthopaedic physician to determine the severity of her arthritis and to discuss the best course of action because she is having trouble walking.
