Hello. Thanks for writing to us. It seems that you are having sever osteoarthritic changes in the knee joint. If the conservative treatment and physiotherapy are not helpful then a total knee replacement needs to be considered. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
