your mother likely to have osteoarthrits of knee joint. Edonax injection is not specifically for knee pain. It prevents osteoporosis progression. I suggest you to get DEXA scan to confirm osteoporosis before getting this injection. Major side effects are jaw osteomylitis but rare, minor side effects like fever do not need to worry.
