Vitamin injections and tablets are helpful. Once Arthritis sets in there is no permanent cure apart from replacement on this earth though many claim cartilage synthesis grafting works which is a lie and only in experimental stages. Post the xrays and will tell you what to do. Injections either viscosupplements or steroid ones are temporary solutions. Physiotherapy and weight reduction are very helpful depending on stage of Arthritis
