Question: mother suffering from Osteoarthritis , Is on medication as mentioned in profile but is in immense pain , Please help to ease out her pain .
Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation, arthroscopic debridement, knee replacement
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Usually Osteoarthritis of the knee deteriorates quickly if proper precautions are not taken. There could be cartilage meniscus degeneration or tear causing the pain as well.
It is best to get an Xray of the knee to look for the joint damage and any deformity of the knees.
Knee replacement is the ideal solution for a pain free knee but even Arthroscopic debridement of cleaning up of the joint can help.
Kindly upload the Xray for my review.
Also steroid and Hyaluronic acid injection will offer relief into the knee.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Dr. Aashish Raghu
