My 93-year-old mom has been dealing with really bad knee pain for the past year and it's making everyday life tough for her. Is knee replacement surgery even an option at her age or are there other treatments we should consider first? I'm worried about the risks but also want her to have some relief

While knee replacement surgery is generally safe, even for older adults, it's crucial to carefully consider all available treatment options for your 93-year-old mother, weighing the potential benefits and risks. A consultation with her doctor is vital to assess her overall health, the severity of her knee pain, and the suitability of different treatments, including non-surgical approaches and, if appropriate, knee replacement
