Knee Pain

Asked for Male, 64 years

I want to ask about my father. His age is 58 years. He has been suffering with knee pain for almost 6 years. We have get him examined from various doctors in Lahore. All are saying that( through x rays) the gap in knee has been finished which is necessary, so the bones are colliding. They are only suggesting artificial knee replacement surgery. I want to know that how long this artificial knee would work? Or is there any other solution?

Dear Patient,

The condition you are describing is called arthritis, there are multiple types of treatments available.
From oral NSAID (painkillers) and steroids to intraarticular injections of steroids n cartilage to TKR surgeries along with lifestyle changes like regular physiotherapy, using a stick to walk, avoiding stairs n all strenuous activities are important. we also recommend eating fish cartilage which is available in capsules(find halal) and can help naturally boost knee growth. response depends on patients own body. Some people live after TKR for 20yr, others need TKR in 4 years.
