My Groovy Grandfather

Before, my grandfather is always complaining about his arthritis. His knees were giving too much trouble, and he said that the pain is unbearable. He’s turning fifty-six next month and a little overweight for his age. We consulted our family doctor about this to ask for some knee arthritis treatment and my grandfather gone through some physical examination and x-rays.
After we got the result, we also have a discussion with our doctor which treatment is appropriate with my grandfathers’ case. Weight loss is one option that he gave, another is physical therapy which will help my grandfather strengthen his muscles around the knee joint and decrease the burden on the knee. After a week of doing such treatments we’ve seen improvements from him. Now, he even joins us in our ballroom dancing.
