Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Osteoarthritis In The Knee Joints Be Treated?
Yes. I have advance osteoarthritis in my knee joints. I cannot handle pain medications, or anesthesia. Total knee joint replacement is out of the question for me. I cannot take anti inflammatory medication, because it has started to affect my function of my kidneys. I am told that at age 79, I am too old for the new break through in the treatment of my osteoarthritis. What is your advice?
