Brief Answer:
Take tylenol and Ibuprofen!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about this arthrosis related pain. Pain management is done with medications of increasing potency until your pain is well controlled. I recommend you start with a combination of tylenol 1000mg thrice daily and Ibuprofen 600mg thrice daily. If this fails to address the pain, then we will use more potent drugs such as ultram and vicodin which requires a doctors script from your treating doctor.

In addition, physical therapy and analgesic patches/creams applied locally might be helpful.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
