There are only really drugs and exercise that alleviate the symptons - there really is no cure as such. Glucosamine helps to keep the cartilage intact. You can run different courses of drugs prescribed by your doctor and I see that aspirin has been mentioned - anti-inflammatorys such as nurofen (Ibrubrofen) also help.
You might want to go to www.kneeguru.co.uk which is a discussion website and talking to other people might help you find the right thing.
Exercise will also help and low impact ones especially (swimmimg is good for everything).
Good Luck

I used to have horrendous arthritis. At it's worst I could not sleep for more than a few hours and it would take me over an hour to get out of bed. A friend suggested I give up coffee. It Worked !!!!
I cut down the coffee over a period of about 5 weeks as coffee withdrawal is the pits. Then I had no coffee whatsoever from then on. The difference is astounding! I know many people who have given up coffee with equally amazing results and only one to whom it made no difference.
Give it a go, what have you got to lose?
All the best

If you are willing to try alternate healing methods. Try Reiki. It helps my father and mother with their arthritus. Search it on the web..You will find loads of information.
It is a japanese form of healing touch.

Turmeric Tea (a generous pinch of ground turmeric in hot water).
The taste takes getting used to but turmeric has anti-imflammatory properties.
It is a treatment often prescribed by practitioners of Ayurvedic Medicine.

Yes, but you probably won't like it.
Weight-bearing exercise will alleviate arthritis pain in knees. The problem with this is that you have to keep it up. Something most people have trouble with.

Glucosamine capsules they are similar to cod liver oil except they repair the joints as well, cod liver oil doesnt repair.

Glucosamine is VERY effective. The tablets which have Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the ones to look for.

If there was an answer it would be a miracle. Ease it by taking cod liver oil tablets daily.
