Question

My dad is 60 and has had knee pain for 12 years due to osteoarthritis. The doctor recommended knee replacement surgery, but we're wondering if there's any way to manage or reduce the pain without going through surgery

A total knee replacement surgery is a valid treatment option for severe knee pain and functional limitations due to osteoarthritis, even at age 60. The decision to proceed with surgery should be made collaboratively with a doctor, considering the individual's overall health, activity level, and the impact of the pain on their daily life
