I am 83 male have left knee arthritis, the cartilage totally gone. I couldn't be operated for knee replacement, as I have left aortic aneurysm. I use jiva oil in the morning for a light massage take osteobioflex tablet green lipped mollusca extract and alternate days brufen 400 mg wear knee braces and complete all walking within the house. Carrying on like that. Don't go out much, except for walks inside the complex corridor. Any advice?
