Hello,

I have studied your case.
You can hold piroxicam and start after taking injection.

Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.
If required intra-articular injection can be given.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help.

osteoporosis can be associated so you may need to take calcium supplement.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care
