Hi,
As you got osteo-artheritis of knee joint now you should try to prevent further damage to your joint.
Do regular patellar exercise for 10 minutes for 2-3 times to strengthen your knee muscles.
Avoid squatting.
Avoid doing cross legs.
Do not bend knee joint more.
Do swimming exercise.
Take Calcium, Vitamin A, D supplements.
Ok and take care.
