Elder Oa

Hi Bobs, I have treated Many OA patients Of different age groups and successfully.

But here I am unable To Do the Same With Older Age Groups. I Treated An Old Female (88yr) Knee OA For 3-4 Months With Mhp, Ultrasound, Interferrential Therapy, Infrared, Isometrics and Strengthening exercises.

She Had Severe Oedema And Osteophytes, fighting With Severe Pain Since 20yrs. With My Treatment She Could Relieve For 3-4 Hrs Only. Now She Quit. But Again I've Another Patient Of Same Illness.

What Changes I Should Provide Her, so At least She Get Rid Of Pain For Long Duration.

Maybe they need knee replacements? Is surgical intervention and pharmacological support not an option in your country/location? Please let us know where you are from and what resources you have. :o

I recon physio dude is right. Acupuncture would be my next step.:)
