You have not mentioned your age which is very important in case of arthritis which is quite common in elderly people above 60 years of age. As per your history I will advice you to take some pain killer like ultracet or biozobid-plus only when pain is worse enough or disturbing your routine work. Apart from this you can take some calcium supplements like shalcal or toscal-gem once daily preferably in afternoon along with some multivitamins like metilda-forte or meganeuron-plus. You can do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist.
