Get an x-ray done. Depending on the stage of arthritis that your mother has, treatment can be prescribed. Early stages of disease can be taken care of chondroprotective and prp injections in the knee. Late stages have to be treated surgically.

Dear lybrate-user your mother might be suffering from arthritis of the knee joint. I would suggest you take an x-ray of the knee joint also blood tests to rule out other causes of knee pain. Taking painkiller is not worth always.
