My father age is above 50 year and he is having a lot of weight .now is facing pain in elbow of leg .no any medicine is working.please help me?

Knee problems : Are common in older age obese adults. If anti inflammatory drugs and physical therapy are not working, he needs to get MRI to see if there are any correctable surgical problems. He needs to get an x-ray first to make sure that it is not a bone problem first. Losing weight would also help. Sorry there is no easy answer for this.
