What is the best treatment for decreasing of pain in osteoarthritis?

There are many treatments for osteoarthritis:

- Glucosamine and chondrontine supplements are handy as they boost the natural levels of these two within the body. They both are naturally found in cartliage and by increasing the levels, you can improve cartliage function

- Panadol Osteo is a great new prescription only medication that takes the edge off the pain. If you can't get a prescription it is exactly the same as Pandaol extend.

- Many believe heat rubs and natural oils help with the pain, but this is yet to be established. They are more for a temporary fix. They can also be hard if the arthritis is in the hands or wrist.

- Injections of corticosteriods are also used. These are very painful, and only used as a last resort

Speak with your doctor about treatment specific to your needs, as everyones bodies are different and react to different treatments differently! Your doctor knows you best, and will only prescribe what they think will work! Source(s): 3rd year Medical Student

I've heard some light swimming, place some warm pack on the area and what ever meditation your doctor has put you on.
go to homoeopathy.
Ibuprofen, Aleve, or tylenol arthritis are some over the counter pain medications that help. I find that moist heat is very helpful.
