Question: My mother, age 60 years, has knee pain problem from last 2-3 year, problem get increased on continuous walking or using staircases. Few times she feels during walking knee bones popping or cracking with unbearable pain.

Already consulted orthopaedic various time, recently 6-7 month ago. He just recommend light knee exercise, cipcal 500 once daily and to avoid staircases or excessive walking. In layman language he cited reason that with age the fluid production at joint got reduced.

My mom is taking daily Cipcal 500 since a year and
using TENS therapy from last 9 months at knee point for 10 min daily, sometimes she forget to take TENS therapy.
In morning light knee exercise (by folding leg at knees while lying on bed).

Her condition improved because of all above but last 20 days she complained sometimes pulsating medium bearable pain at night.

She is also a psychiatrist patient since 10 years and under continuous consultation of psychiatrist. Currently she is taking following medicine since one and half year.
ZAXPAM 10, DOXIN 75, DEPRAN 10, TRIJEE-H, REJUVATE OD.

Kindly suggest, is it safe to take cipcal 500 once daily for long time, safe to use TENS therapy daily for 10 mins.

Kindly suggest anything to improvise her condition.


Thank your valuable suggestion, sir.
