There's no remedy for arthritis as yet, but
you'll find various treatments which can help
alleviate symptoms and reduce the likelihood of
your arthritis becoming worse.
3
Painkillers help with pain and stiffness, but
they do not affect the arthritis itself and will
not repair the damage to your joint.
4
Painkillers are best used sometimes when you are
in pain or when you are likely to be exercising.
5
Paracetamol is generally the best and most well
accepted analgesic, but ensure you take the right
dose because a lot of people take not enough -
attempt 1 g three or four times a day.  
6
Combined analgesic contains paracetamol and
another codeine like drug, in order that they may
be useful for more severe pain. Since they are
stronger than analgesic, they are more prone to
cause adverse effects like dizziness and
constipation.
7
Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, for
example, ibuprofen or naproxen, may be advocated
if irritation is contributing to the pain and
stiffness.
8
You can tell within several days whether they are
going to help with your pain. Capsaicin cream is
produced from the pepper plant along with is an
efficient and well tolerated painkiller.
9
The pain alleviation begins following a day or
two and you need to check it out for at least
fourteen days before discovering when it is
helped. Stronger painkillers, for example,
opioids/anti inflammatory, may be prescribed if
you have severe pain and other medications don't
work well enough.
10
More powerful analgesic are more inclined to
possess adverse effects, particularly nausea,
dizziness and confusion, so you will need to see
your doctor on a regular basis and report any
issues.
11
Some opioids might be given as a plaster patch to
wear on the skin, which may give pain alleviation
for a number of days. Stronger analgesic are only
available on prescription.
12
Since these treatments work in various ways, you
may combine them for greater pain alleviation.
Steroid injections are occasionally given
directly into an especially painful knee joint.  
13
The shots may start working inside a day or so
and might improve pain to get several weeks or
months. They are mainly used for very painful
arthritis, for sudden attacks due to shedding
calcium deposits and also to assist you through
important events.
14
Arthritis Research UK has awarded a grant to get
the PROMOTE trial, a report into whether
methotrexate, a drug widely used to treat
rheumatoid arthritis, may be utilized to treat
osteoarthritis of the knee
15
Applying heat or cold to your knee may relieve
pain and stiffness. Acid hyaluronic injections,
that assist to lubricate your knee joint, are
occasionally given when steroid injections do not
work.
