Heavy knee pain when standing or walking
Hi, My mother has polio since she was 5 years old.
She has arthritis issue. From last 6 months she has heavy pain in her right knee. Whenever she tries to stand or walk, it pains. But if she bends her leg then there is no pain.
We have consulted 2 different doctor. Both of them saying her bones are being worn out. There is no medicine treatments usefull for her. She needs to do knee replacement.
After doing MRI they can confirm, which knee replacement suits her.
I just want to confirm whether is this the only option available.

Initially conservative treatment can be tried , there is a good chance that she will improve. MRI won't be of much help . A detailed examination will be more useful.
