Glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate. I recommend triple strength Osteo Bi-Flex. It has saved my back from a fusion and my "bad" knoee has not hindered my marathon training at all! But I will say that you have to take it for 6 weeks straight about beefore you feel the result!
They say WD-40, you should post this question in the seniors section, most seniors suffer from arthritis and would know the answer.
I don't know if you are familiar with magnetic therapy for pain management. I make and sell magnetic jewelry at a local flea market on the weekends. People come in to look around and always stop at my booth, out of curiosity, I guess.

I have sold many pieces of jewelry to people who have pain in any part of their bodies. Many of them come back after they buy from me and say that magnets really do work.

A lot of the vendors at the flea market had purchased jewelry from me as well. And many of them say that it works for them too.

I myself wear magnetic jewelry all of the time. I have an ankle bracelet for my knee and 2 bracelets for my wrist. The only time I take them off is to shower. Other than that, I keep them on all of the time. If I forget to put them back on the the pain starts up again, I reach for my jewelry and put it back on.

It works and works well for the ease of pain. If it didn't, I wouldn't be making this jewelry and selling it.
Aleve is good and works form 8-12 hours a day, and i take advil pm for the nite time aches to ensure a good nite sleep. If u are hurting before the 8 hours are up u can take 2 advil every 4 hours on top of the aleve .
