What is the best treatment for osteoarthritis knee problem?

my mom has developed knee problem from osteoarthritis. She is 55 years old. due to the problem, she couldn't do the gardening she likes doing.
i have heard about knee replacement, but i'm wondering if there is any other solution. i'd highly appreciate any answer to my question.
thanks

I would recommend Homeopathy Treatment for your mother.

For right knee, take Arnica 200 - 3 doses 1 day then Bryonia 30 - Daily 2 doses.

For left knee, take Rhus Tox 200 one day 3 doses then, Bryonia 30 - Daily 2 Doses.

For both the knees - Bryonia 30 - Daily Twice and Aurum Met 1M - intercurrently.

Consult a Doctor/Registered Physician before use. I strongly recommend that dont take it without consulting a doctor.

For Heaven sake dont opt for surgical treatment.

Give Medicines to your mother with Strong Belief.

Wish your mother a Speedy Recovery.

God Bless.

First your mom needs something to control the pain and slow the damage to the knees. Pain killers on long term have side effects. I recommend, Arthrid, a natural pain reliever. Go to www.sindor.com for more info. good luck.

not if her knees are that bad and she is now bone on bone. i am 55 with the same thing i waited until i could no longer stand the pain and have surgery scheduled 1/25/07. dont let her wait too long the longer you wait the damage is done

A friend of mine was scheduled for knee replacement surgery. however, I told him about a nutritional supplement. After 3 months on it; he was totally pain-free. It's been over a year now & he makes no mention of knee replacement surgery.
Look into...

Good luck!

Once a joint has osteoarthritis nothing can be done to that joint to so called "cure it". Of course she can do the pain reliever thing and that may offer some relief. There is another treatment called Synvisc (sp) this is an injection into the knee of a viscous fluid that will offer a long term pain relief. It lasts for months, but it must be injected by a doctor. One more thing to consider is a half knee replacement, this is a shorter recovery time if your mom is a candidate. Your mom is young so she should have a very good outcome if she decides to do any surgical route.

Mr. Answer is right...most surgeons will opt for non-surgical treatment for someone so young. Synvisc is receiving more attention but I haven't seen it be consistently effective yet. Cortisone injections are also a common procedure that frequently break up the pain and inflammation cycle and in many cases, can help a person delay knee replacement for many years. Yet, it does not increase the joint space as Synvisc does.

Yet, knee replacement IS a very successful surgery and the technology gets better and better. The minimally invasive knee replacement involves only about a 4 inch incision, results in much less pain, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization. Many who also have arthritis in just one compartment often opt for the unicompartmental knee replacement surgery...again, a minimally invasive surgery and usually only requires about a month of therapy (as opposed to 2-3 months)...mobility is regained quickly.

Many time, just a change in lifestyle is helpful: avoiding smoking and caffience, changing to lower impact forms of exercise such as water aerobics. When the conservative options fail, it will be time to consider joint replacement surgery.

The price of knee replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.


Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
