hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you mentioned you have Osteoarthritis, has it been diagnosed by an physician? If so than an understanding of the osteoarthritis is a must. The pain in the bone, joint is called osteoarthritis which is confirmed to one region. If the pain keeps changing the joints than it may be Rheumatoid arthritis. This is the small difference in both.

Also, osteoarthritis is a degenerative change in the knee joint, as knee joint is a weight bearing joint so as age passes due to wear and tear there will be inflammation in the joint and pain as well.

Degenerative change is a normal physiological process of the human body and it is an irreversible process.

Also, in the OA of the knee, you need to follow basic rehabilitation process
1. assessment and provisional diagnosis
2. MRI of knee joint (To see the extent of the soft tissue injury)
3. Rest - hot water fermentation
4. Physical therapy - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS Therapy, ROM Exercises and Strengthening exercises.
5. Progressive Physical therapy for the joint to take the stress and load in future by which injury should be avoided.

As per my clinical practice my patients have 100% success , they all come with same issue and all are able to go for jogging, jumping, dancing etc.

No pain No aches. Full mobility and healthy life.
