Hi doctor,
My mother has been suffering from knee OA. It is more on the left than the right. Her age is 54. She feels pain while walking and as a result of that she is unable to reduce weight. Currently, she is taking Jointace tablet, but there is no relief. Can you suggest some alternate option other than painkiller? She is also on Ecosprin, Rosuvas and Telma.
