I am 60 years old & having chronic pain in my knee joint which has become more severe after chikungunya 5 months back. I can't walk properly & have very much pain in my knees. I have consulted a Dr. & they have advised for knees replacement option as the only solution. Is there any other alternative? As I don't want to undergo an operation. What is rheumatology? I have heard that there is a treatment under rheumatology. please advice.
