Anyways since you have mentioned bilateral osteoarthritis changes seen evidenced by peaking of the intercondylar eminence, patella spurring and joint reduction. [ L.>>R]. This means that time has come that you should avoid squatting, upstairs etc as much as you can. You can do daily morning walk for 30 mins, this will benefit you. Take balance diet to avoid overweight. You can take medicine by discussing it with your doctor and no by your self prescription because these medicines have server side effects especially in your case because you are case of duodenal ulcer.
