Hello,
The medicine is used for this purposes since your mother is 80 and have reduced joint space.
Etody - anti-inflammatory drug - used for reducing inflammation in the joint
Zevit prothiaden - is an anti-depression drug which will help her have good sleep in the night which may have got affected due to pain
Rabekind - is for any gastric issues caused due to the medicine mentioned above.
As the knee joint space is reduced, I will advise undergoing physiotherapy treatment like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for reducing inflammation and pain. This works well in combination with drug therapy. Also, exercises will be implemented by the physiotherapist like static hamstring, static quadriceps and straight leg raise to improve the muscle strength and help improve the joint space.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, geriatrics respond well to a combination of conservative therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
