I am having knee pain for the last four years. I have been told to go for knees replacement but there is no one to look after me as well as I am scared as my elder sister passed away due to infection after her knee replacement. I am 70 yrs old. Please advise some exercises as well as medicine. NSBehl.

Hello, we understand your situation. We would advise the following exercises: 1) please use steam or a hot pad on your knees 3 times a day, provided there is not much swelling. Incase of swelling, please use an ice pack. 2) keep both your feet on the bed straight. Place a roll of towel under your knees. Press knees to squeeze towel. Hold for 10 counts & release. Repeat this 10 times x 2 hourly. Regards
