Suggest A Permanent Cure For Knee Osteoarthritis

Question: I am wondering if I should be pursuing a more permanent fix for my arthritic knees. I don't believe things are going to get much better. I am just using braces and taking meloxicam 15 mg. I have insurance now but I have not ever pursued answers beyond treating the symptoms.
Brief Answer:
knee replacement
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
Arthritis is a physiological,gradually progressing process which will never improve permanently.
Measures can be taken to slow down its process.
Otherwise all other measures are temporary.
Braces and meloxicam will help temporarily.
If you are experiencing severe pain restricting your knee movements and activities of daily living,then knee replacement is the best option available.
The pain will be literally gone after replacement.
Consult a orthopedist.
I hope the answer was useful.
Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.
Thank you.
Best wishes.
