You need to avoid stairs, kneeling, and squating. You should get an exercise bike and ride for at least 20 minutes a day. This will help to strengthen your thigh muscles which will take some of the pressure off of your knee joint. You can get injections in your knee to help with pain, followed by orthoscopic surgery, this is done with a scope and very small incision. Knee replacements will be your final stop. Antiinflammitory medication such as Mobic will also help. If you are over weight this will also add pressure to your knees.

well even though I don't agree with the consumption of unkosher substances. Studies have shown that glucosamine helps rebuild the cushion in your knee caps, which in turn will help relieve some of the symptoms of arthritis.
If you also keep kosher really your only option would be to keep your knee well supported and cold/heat therapy. Try not to get steroid shots such as cortisone because that wears on your cartilage which will make the arthritis symptoms worse.

Not trying to sound like a tough guy, but about the only time I cry is due to death. I tend to become more pissed than upset over things. I guess I'm a very stereotypical male in that regard. Did Incubus of all people really just call someone else a sociopath and a psychopath?

What type of arthritis? If it's inflammatory, then try a good anti-inflammatory. The best I have found is actually natural (and I don't usually use natural remedies...a heart surgeon recommended this one, however, so I tried it to great success), and is called Bromelain. Buy the more expensive kind, however, for the highest quality, hence best results. If your condition is degenerative, then glucosamine/chondroitin mix may help.
Cheers!

I suggest Shaklee natural Joint Health Complex.
Slick as polished marble, tough as vulcanized rubber, cartilage is the wonder material that protects bones at the joints. No other substance is more resilient, better shock absorber, or lower in friction than cartilage.
While scientists have yet to figure out why this joint cushioner breaks down, they are learning how to support its natural renewal process. In a study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, glucosamine, an amino sugar, was shown to promote cartilage formation and renewal.
It rebuilds, maintains, and supports healthy joint cartilage for greater mobility. Also an anti-inflammatory.
I feel Shaklee Joint Health Complex is the very best glucosamine product available today.
Ingredients:
1,500 mg of Glucosamine hydrochloride, plus cat's claw extract, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives added.
For more info or questions, feel free to contact me.

It basically depends on your age and how long your have had arthritis. If you are a young adult to middle-aged person, consult a physician with possibly some physical therapy. If your are a middle-aged to senior citizen and this is a long-term condition, then I suggest you consult a physician if you haven't and follow his advise. Arthritis can be painful and debilitating if you allow it to get too bad. Some physicians may recommend medical treatment i.e. anti-inflammatories; however if it is bad enough, they may recommend knee replacements. Consult your physician if you haven't and follow his advice.

First I would say talk to your doctor or go to a specialist. I think they will tell you to get some kind of exercise, even if it's just a small amount at first. It'll only get worse with non-use. There are non weight bearing exercises that might help. And they may also put you on some kind of anti-inflammatory medicine. Good luck...

Oil the joints by making a cycling movement. Have to do it at least once every day. Also get ointment shots from your doctor.

exercise by walking or treadmill until you start to get pain. Some light weight training and stretching also are good.
