What would be a medication prescribed for osteoarthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start with NSAIDS &: see how it works for you. I would Start with Tylenol (acetaminophen) Arthritis first. Replace it with some other one. Non - medicational measures like using a cane or a walker, reducing weight, are all helpful early stages.
