Yes it is definately possible to control it by exercises.
Osteoarthirits is a degenrative disorder. It can be controlled by professionaly designed physiotherapeutic exercises by restoring the balance between all the muscles around the knee thus preventing erosion of the joints. Exercises will prevent its speedy deterioration and improve quality of life. And yes painkillers are not the solution.

Hello lybrate-user Went through your post, generally oral vitamin D doesn't cause hypercalcemia because it is only 60000 units and can be taken for 6 weeks. However heel pain is generally feature of enthisitis of planter facia and not low vitamin D, Low vitamin D causes generalised myalgias Regards.
