Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Knee pains in his age are usually due to Osteoporosis.
Giving him Calcium supplements with Physiotherapy would be effective in reducing the pain.
For temporary relief he can take pain killers like diclofenac or aceclofenac.
If the above remedies fail, then Intraarticular steroids would surely help him.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
