Suggest Remedy To Treat Gap In Knee Joints In Elderly
My Grandma is in her early 70 s and she have a gap in her knee joints. She dont wanna go under surgery because of her age. Her gap makes it harder for her to sit up, move her legs. She seems healthy though and have a good weight. She also have severe swelling and burning feeling in her foot. Is there any other way she can relieve the pain and the gap?

Hi,
It seems to be osteoarthritis, I need to see her X-ray to guide properly, However, if knee joints are to much damaged than permanent solution is only replacement. You can use anti inflammatory, hot pack, physiotherapy to ease her pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
