There's no magic bullet unfortunately but here are Arthritis Research UK's recommendations. http://tinyurl.com/ydgqmdwlIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I have learned over the years by trial and error that acidic foods aggravate my OA so I avoid them - they aggravate by causing more pain but not by causing more damage. I know that if I overdo things I cause inflammation which could further damage the joints so I do my best to make sure I work within my limits. Having said that I have recently begun working with a personal trainer to improve my stamina, muscle tone and strength and, even though I am adding to pain levels with muscular discomfort (I am waking up muscles which haven't moved effectively for years) I am not causing further damage to the joints. I have been able to further reduce my pain relief as my muscles strengthen so that is a positive outcome. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
