Well the best treatment for arthritis is to keep active. Also, heat tends to be a much better treatment than cold. You may want to find out from your doctor if a session of physical therapy would prove helpful. You should also be prescribed an anti-inflammatory medication, such as Celebrex or Vioxx for the pain.
