I've been struggling with severe joint pain for years and can barely walk anymore. I've tried ayurveda, homeopathy, and allopathy treatments but nothing's worked. Is knee replacement surgery my only option left or are there other treatments I should explore first?

While knee replacement surgery may be a solution for severe joint pain, it's not always the first or only option. There are several other treatments and approaches to explore, including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and other minimally invasive procedures

I've been dealing with severe pain for the past 30 days and visited both a general physician and an orthopedic specialist. They prescribed antacids, painkillers, and suggested using a splint, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is surgery the best option to relieve this pain or should I wait longer?

If severe pain persists for 30 days despite seeing a general physician and orthopedic specialist, further evaluation and specialized care may be necessary. Consider consulting a pain management specialist or other relevant specialist for advanced diagnostics and treatment options.
