Considering the age and severity of condition TKR is a better option. However, if you want to go for conservative management then physiotherapy exercises will definitely reduce pain but there is no guarantee of complete alleviation of pain. Physiotherapy exercises with proper walking aids and knee braces has shown significant reduction of symptoms.
