If doctors have advised total knee replacement, it usually means the joint damage (often due to Osteoarthritis) is quite advanced, so avoiding surgery completely may not always be possible but you can try to delay it. Focus on weight control, regular low-impact exercises (like walking, cycling, or physiotherapy), and muscle strengthening around the knee. Pain can be managed with medicines like Paracetamol or occasional Ibuprofen (only under medical advice), along with hot/cold packs.
