Hello,

As your age is 60, we can expect some Degenerative changes in the joint. Due to which there will be reduced joint space and inflammation. With the anti-inflammatory drug, you should have relief from pain.

For long-run results, you need to do exercises which helps improve the joint space and improve the muscle strength.

Exercises like - static Quadriceps, static hamstring, ankle toe movements, knee range of motion exercises, straight leg raise should help regain the knee joint space and improve the muscle strength.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
