My mother is 55 and had knee pain from past few years. It has become quite worse now and she is in intense pain in one knee regularly and feels uneasy walking. She has some breathing trouble to accompany while walking and feels like her legs are weak or feels numbness sometimes. What could be the problem here? What can be done?
