Hello doctor, My dad aged 59 is suffering from severe pain in the knee joints and low back for the past 10 years. It's an occupational hazard but even after retiring from his job, he still gets the pain while walking or lifting things. It's so severe that it disturbs sleep and he moans all night. Can you please suggest a good remedy for this.

Hello . This seems to be long standing osteoarthritis of knee joints. Is he taking any painkillers on regular basis? Do you have his X rays? Has he developed deformities like inability to fully straighten the leg or bowing? Rather than occupational hazard, this is age related. His treatment depends on lot of criteria based on clinical examination and x rays findings. Please consult with knee specialist. Dr Prashant Parate. Shoulder and Knee specialist.
