Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If she is having severe osteoarthritis, you may get some relief from such medicines but the ultimate treatment option would be a total knee replacement. So please think about it. There is nothing like that medicine which will improve and give much more satisfaction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani's
