You should not take pain killer too much. If pain is is too much and x ray shows arthritis and if your medical condition permits should go for knee replacement. Age is not a bar.

Absolutely, if exercise and physiotherapy not working anymore, then go for knee replacement if your preanesthesia check up allows.
