Hi,
I think you can take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil or Naproxen for pain. Also, you can use corticosteroid injections periodically and hyaluronic acid injections. Also, antidepressants can be added by your doctor. If you still are in pain you can consider microsurgery of joint.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
