Knee arthritis (osteoarthritis) is a condition characterized by cartilage loss and deformities in the knee joint. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, surgery. Here are some general recommendations:

###1. Lifestyle Changes- Weight Control: Excess weight puts extra stress on the knee joint. Losing weight can relieve symptoms.

Exercise: Light exercises, especially low-impact activities (swimming, cycling) can strengthen the muscles around the knee joint and relieve pain. ###2. Physical Therapy- Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Physical therapists can increase the range of motion of the joint with specific exercise programs.
Hot and Cold Applications: Hot compresses increase blood flow and provide relief, while cold compresses can reduce swelling and pain.

###3. Traditional Non-Drug Methods- Rest and Joint Protection: You can relieve symptoms by reducing stress on the joint.

MASSAGE: Light massage can increase blood flow and provide relief.

History Questions for Detailed Assessment and Treatment:

When did the pain in your knee start and how long has it been going on?
At what times of day or during what activities does the pain increase?
Is there swelling or warmth in the knee?
Do you feel pain in both knees or just one?

These details can play an important role in planning your treatment process. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.**
