Brief Answer:
Mild pain killers and exercise will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Arthritis involves inflammation of the joints and is less likely at your age. It can be post traumatic.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin , dycerin, etc and some life style modifications and physiotherapy.
Right now you can start taking Tablet Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.
Other investigations needed are Serum B12 and Serum Vit D levels and start supplements according to the levels.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
