My elderly mother is suffering greatly from arthritis.

My mother is quite elderly, and for a long time her knee joints have been swollen, filled with fluid, and she experiences a lot of pain when walking.

I went to the hospital and was told I have degenerative arthritis.

Even after receiving cartilage injections and physical therapy, there has been little improvement. They say that artificial joint surgery would be fine, but I am worried because of your age.

Still, it would be better for you to undergo surgery, right?
