It depends on which kind you have. Rheumatoid, psoriatric Still's and Reiter's involve care from doctors and specialists to ensure that all the avenues are being covered.
Osteoarthritis is best handled by tylenol or motrin and exercise to the extent that you tolerate.

Difficult to answer your question because there are so many types of arthritis!! But rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common among adults and elderly, followed by Osteoarthritis (OA),
If you have RA: Avoid red meat, shell fishs, cold weather nad take multivitamins to maintain your healh as RA may attack your lungs and/or kidneys later!!!

The best thing for arthritis is to see your doctor. He can prescribe a long acting non steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). Because you don't say whether it is osteo or rheumatoid arthritis, I can't and shouldn't say more. Only your doctor can prescribe the best medication and best treatment for you.
