Hello,
Her situation seems to be related to severe arthritis. For this reason, a possible treatment option would be knee steroid injections or hialluronic acid injection. Loosing weight and physiotherapy is also necessary. If this does not help, knee replacement surgery will be the next thing to do.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
