Severe knee pain for my 70yr old mother?
My mother is 70yrs old and has recently been suffering from severe knee pain on both her legs, she has tried all medication and balms. She is unable to bend her knees and suffers a lot. Pls if there is any herbal or medical remedies pls i would love ur feedback.
The doctors say the bone has deteriorated over time and because of her age new cells cant grow back.

1. She may want to try soaking in some mineral salts called BathTherapy. They have different kinds some for sore or over worked muscles and strained muscles.
She may also want to consider going to a massage therapist and getting a good leg and foot massage. Having tight muscles can be rather painful especially in the joints. Loosening those muscles can provide a lot of relief.
2. ur mother most likely has osteoporosis which is weakening of bones due to decreased bone matrix formation common in women past 50.. there are newer drugs like alendronate thet can help immensly in this condition alonwith daily pain killers and calcium..... however other than surgery there is no long term solution though these drugs improve quality of life ina big way
3. She ,to take organic food supplements,really going to help,for details email(sarna_anil@yahoo.co.in)
4. yes this is obvious becos of age..
i think physiotherapy wld help..i have heard off..
in food if u want to control concentrate on calcium and iron contents.
Better consult a physiotherapist rather than a doctor!!
5. Hi,
very simple talk one bucket full of hot water add rock salt nearly 5 kgs after that ask ur mum to sit an let someone pour that hot water on the pain occurring places in legs and at the same time massage continuously with slightly rubbing , as the salt water makes the pain creating cells to die so that it growth is stopped. it will surely work 100 % and also it was said to my grand mother by an kerala Ayurveda doctor. try it u wont believe its results .....................

8. well it seems to me ur mother is suffering something like the osteoarthritis.
even my mother suffered so. regarding ur mother's age it is now perhaps incurable.
i am myself a health-care Professional and i have consulted a lot of doctors.
consult a good physiotherapist and an orthotist. believe me it will help and u may see ur mother walking again. i have seen such cases. i will give u a link.
9. Go for a knee transplant. This would be best for your mum.
10. - As per the age of your mother I would recommend Reosto. Reosto is an useful herbal medicine in Post menopausal osteoporosis. It contains natural calcium and magnesium. It stops bone loss and helps in bone formation.
- Along with this she should take calcium supplement, flex seeds, primrose oil and nuts
