Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for the query

I have read your question and the reports.

You have arthritis of the knee due to wear and tear and degenerative changes of the tendons and joint around your shoulder.

I suppose physiotherapy should help to improve range of movement and strengthening of the muscles.

Avoid lifting weights or cross leg sitting.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Aashish Raghu
