Exercise can relieve some of the pain along with some supplements like glucosamine that can be added to your diet. This will help with pain and also should slow the progression. Surgery can be used in extreme cases but exercise will help since it releases endorphines and helps relieve pain.

Before starting the treatment you have to know whether your arthritis is an autoimmune disorder or is acquired. For rheumatoid arthritis drugs like methotrexate, sulfazalazine, leflunomide etc are used.
