Ways to relieve osteoarthritis pain?

Question: Does anyone else have this disease/condition. My back hurts really bad, and i can't find pain relief. I don't want to take medication unless it really works. Should i take an ice bath, heat only agrivates my back. Please, any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

P.S: Im 14, and the arthritis is in my fifth lumbar disk

Answers:
massage lavender essential oil on it. mix 15 drops lavender oil into an ounce of light vegetable oil or a light lotion stir or shake slightly to mix the ingredients and spread a tiny bit on the skin around the pain, it works for me

The book at the bottom of this by an MD tells how to do it with diet and fasting. Actually this tells how to cure it not relieve it.

Best I've found is Perscription strength Aleve, or Norvasac. Works wonders. Ask you doctor to try it.
