Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is no recommended food or diet that can help in erosive osteoarthritis. In your case your physician is likely to start you on paracetamol,physiotherapy and topical NSAIDs creams if he will be sure that its osteoarthritis.

If he will not be sure of this he may advice some other tests to look for metabolic diseases of bone.
