Hi, 
Severe osteoarthritis is a progressive disorder and we can treat it up to a limit and can be stopped the further progression. 
Did you take any medication for any other lifestyle diseses . And also there is any inflammation of the joints? 
Avoid long stepping, stepp climbing, walking and long standing. Wear a kneecap while doing these activities and travelling time. 
Medications :-
1) Rasnasaptakam kashayam - 15ml
Kashayam + 45 ml luke warm water. Mix it properly. Drink it half hour before food in morning and evening. 
2) Nucart OA tab - 1-0-1 after food
3) Yogaraja guggulu tab 1-0-1 with kashaya before food
4 ) Do bandage with murivenna spreading in a cotton pad and place it on the knees and bandage it properly and remove it on bed time.

Hello,
Osteoarthritis is manageable as it is also severe so better go with panchakarma treatment but not oil massage with high pressure 
1) Janu basti for 10 days for 1 hour
2) Janu pichu for 15 days ( Dip a cotton in medicated warm oil  and keep on both knees and keep the castor leaf on that leave for 45 mins then remove and wipe it don't wash it better to do it in night morning u can janu basti)

Medication -
1) nucart OA 1-0-1 after food 
2) lakshadi guggulu 1-1-1 after food 
3) rasnaerandadi kashaya 5ml-0-5ml with 5ml warm water before food

Don't walk or stand continue once u start with pain while walking or standing take rest 
Wear knee cap

By doing all this u can see some relief

Hi Rico, 
Thankyou so much for reaching out to us. As this is a chronic condition, I would like to get some information from you before we get into our treatment. Can you share how long have you been facing this condition? What time of the day does the pain aggravates,

Dr. Shivakumar Angadi · Answer

Hii
According to Ayurveda OA is a degenerative disease in our science we call it as sandhivata which is vataja roga..
As the age progresses bone density usually decreases and we can see osteophytic changes..so first of all drink plenty of water and practice a habit of having dairy products during your meals. 
As you don't want to undergo knee replacement we have a better option that is Panchakarma..I would suggest you to undergo janu basti with murvennu and kottamchukkadi thaila for 7 days and panchatikta ksheera basti for 16 days
Advice 
1.Tab Suthashekhara rasa 1-0-1 (,B/f)
2.Tab Punarnavadi guggulu 1-0-1 
3.Tab Lakshadi guggulu 1-0-1
4.Murvennu+ksheera bala thaila (L/A)
5.Guggulutiktaka grutham 10ml-0-10ml

Hello Sir,
Please answer these questions to understand your concern better and better management.

Since when have you been experiencing knee pain, and has it progressively worsened over time? Do you have swelling, stiffness, or warmth around the knees? 
Have you tried any physical therapy, Ayurvedic oils, or herbal remedies for pain relief? Do you experience pain more in the morning or after activity? Is there a history of injuries or fractures related to your knees? What is your weight and daily activity level? Have you been diagnosed with osteoporosis or any other joint-related condition?
