Nothing is more work in arthritis than physiotherpy and regular exercises. U can use glucosamine tablet for 2 times in a day but its costly and take years to recover. Avoid cross leg sitting, stair climb, ground sitting.

Hi I understand your mum has arthritis. If it’s knee or hip joint, you can try glucosamine. Spine arthritis, it’s not useful. Read this link. Dosage there only. Check contraindications. Https://bnf. Nice.org. Uk/drug/glucosamine. Html.
