lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With increasing age, some times osteo-arthritis may occur in some of the weight bearing joints. If that is the case, then only local applications may not be of much benefit. It is better to consult a local orthopedician, plus do some specific exercise which the doctor may advise, plus you will have to take certain medications. Thanks.
