Hello lybrate-user garu, as you have arthritis, it is better to prevent pain from being produced rather than taking medication for pain. I understand your situation in these difficult time. What you should do is to try and reduce the production of pain by following few precautions. Don't sit on the ground in cross legged position. Avoid climbing stairs keep a pillow under your knee joints while sleeping. Don't massage or local applications. Use simple rubber slippers at home. If you still have pain or discomfort, please consult me online. Regards.

Hello lybate user, as per your age and history, arthritis pain increased due to the strain. Better follow quadriceps strengthening exercises and knee range of motion exercises at home you can get them from physiotherapist as it is covid time you can search in youtube quadriceps strengthening exercises and do them at home and avoid squatting, avoid cross leg sitting. Do hot fomentation and ointment or spray application and knee caps during day time. If any queries regarding medication and further management you can consult me in Dr. lybate.
