How to fix your knee when it bone to bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fix knee . . .: Just because an xray shows bone on bone doesn't mean a joint needs to be "fixed". Reason for joint replacement is uncontrolled pain despite maximal medical management where function is impaired. Oftentimes, weight loss is enough to get pain under control. Some benefit from injections of "artificial" joint fluid eg hyaluronic acid and/or steroids. Physical therapy is another great option.
