My wife, 62 years old, is suffering from severe pain just below both knees. Her x rays are suggestive of osteoarthritis and the doctors have recommended TKR. She is a dialysis patient but is not diabetic. Is there any treatment which can relieve her pains so that she can walk well and perform her other activities. Thanks Anand.

Dear lybrate-user. Thanks for bringing to our notice the history of your wife. The knee pains are very painful and could be relived by Physiotherapy and supportive othotics and walking aids. Still it is not clear about the weight of your wife. But along with pain management, there should be specific strategies dveloped relating to the diet. She should slowly decrease the oily foods, fat consumption and low salt intake should be done. You may also start with natural calcium supplements like milk and panner.
