Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for osteoarthritis is calcium and vitamin d 3 deficiency.
So start calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements once a day after food.
If you are obese then weight reduction is must.
Avoid crossed leg sitting, excessive walking and exercise.
Consult physiotherapist and start knee physiotherapy in the form of stretching, ultrasound, strengthening of muscles, heat and wax application etc.
Mild osteoarthritis gives excellent results by this conservative approach.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
