My knee has been getting stiffer over time and movement is becoming painful are there any good alternatives to knee replacement surgery? I've heard about stem cell therapy but not sure if it's effective or safe for long-term relief. What would you recommend?

My mom is 63 and has severe knee pain in both knees. The doctor recommended knee replacement but she's worried because she's overweight at 80 kg and 5.1 feet tall. Is it safe for her to get the surgery? Also, what's the difference between robotic knee replacement and regular knee replacement? How long does recovery usually take?
Surgery can be done in overweight patients if diabetes is stable; robotic offers better precision, recovery is 4–6 weeks.
