I understand getting any operation done is scary, there are some details which are missing to guide you properly, your age, your weight, exact X-ray report, how mucChatDoctorpression is there??? Have you tried conservative treatment before and for how long? If you are really not in favor of going for knee replacement, these are the things you should work on 1.reduce your weight (knee joint is a weight-bearing joint, even 2 kg reduction will make a difference)2.hot fomentation3. Strengthening exercises for knee as guided by physiotherapist.4.calcium rich diet5. Continue walking if all this helps you by 50% at-least continue with it otherwise knee replacements are good answer to improve your quality of life.
