Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response

There was a technical error and it got late to receive your sent documents.

Most of the medication asdvised were symptomatic treatments.

I would recommend you give her GAGs which can help in recover of the damaged ligaments .

The best amongst would be Tab Tendoheal Plus taken one tab in the night after food for 3 months.
