Arthritis in lower spine and pelvic region. Any advice on pain relief?

Hello. I have recently joined this group.

I have arthritis in my lower spine and pelvic region. I am trying to keep.up my activities, e.g bowling and petanque, but cannot play as long as it gets painful. I use ibuprofen gel, take paracetamol and ibuprofen. I also use a back support belt and a heated belt. I'm taking magnesium and turmeric supplements. I have not been advised as to the best pain relief for arthritis. Any suggestions? Should my GP have advised other meds?
