Knee joint Pain
My dad is having pain in left knee joint. He was in homeopathic treatment but it did not cure him fully. He is able to walk slowly. Right now he is taking WOW Omega-3 Fish Oil Triple Strength 1000mg capsules. I just want to know is there any supplements that can heal him slowly so that he can walk like before ?

Considering his age and the brief history, my first guess would be osteoarthritis.
Whether or not his case can be managed non-operatively depends upon the stage of the disease.
I'd recommend you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination and x rays in order to ascertain whether this can be managed conservatively.
