My 65-year-old mom has severe knee pain because the fluid in her knee is gone and the bone is worn out. She can't walk or climb stairs anymore. Allopathy doctors recommended knee replacement, but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options for this condition

homeopathy may offer some relief for knee pain, it's crucial to understand that it doesn't directly address the underlying cause of bone-on-bone friction or the loss of cartilage, which are central to osteoarthritis. Homeopathy is often used to manage symptoms like pain and inflammation, but it's not a replacement for allopathic treatments like knee replacement surgery when that is needed
