The subsides after consumption of pain killers. Is it advisable to take pain killers regularly? Physiotherapy recommended but with the pain it's not possible. Is it advisable to go for physiotherapy by subsiding the pain using pain killers.
Kindly help.

Yes painkillers and physiotherapy go hand in hand. Exercises can be done within pain limits. Painkillers can be taken for long time whatever suits her tummy with antacids . If pain is severe even after 3 to 6 months of treatment it is wise to go for Total knee Replacement
