Your wife shall take Mahayograj Guggul capsules. Try these capsules for a month. one capsule everyday. SHe should massage the affected knee with warm castor oil. I do not think you should go for any surgery. This can be taken care of. Ginger tea, one cup every day will help to reduce the inflammation, then she might reduce the dosage of Ibuprofen.
