Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The problems in your mother's knees is due to the age related degenerative changes in the bones. There are joint lubricants which she can take orally after getting these prescribed from the orthopedician. Local joint lubricants can also be injected but it is a comparatively costlier therapy.
