Brief Answer:
Exercises like quadriceps strengthening will be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the MRI report attached. For osteoarthritis, weight reduction is the main treatment along with medicines to decrease pain like NSAID's - paracetamol, aceclofenac etc., Life style modifications like avoiding sitting cross legged, squatting, using XXXXXXX type toilets will decrease the rate of progression of osteoarthritis. Exercises like quadriceps strengthening, swimming, straight leg raising will help in improving the muscle strength around the knee and will help in decreasing pain.

Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years. You can take them after consulting an orthopaedic surgeon.

Many of my patients do get relief by yoga - pranayama and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX You can start with these under the guidance of an expert.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Better to take glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate supplement.

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam,

It is nice to hear that you are not overweight. It is better to take glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate supplement in place of dycerin as there is lack of clinical trails to establish its efficacy and safety etc.

Warm regards.
