Joint pain: Anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen will help joint pain from inflammation. Acetaminophen works well for non inflammatory pain.

Get eval: Stretching, heat from a shower or heating pad (don't get burned), massage, & acupuncture can help. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can help with both pain relief and in reducing inflammation. Examples are ibuprofen (like Advil, Nuprin or Motrin), Naproxen sodium (like Aleve, (naproxen) Naprosyn, Anaprox) or Asprin (such as Bayer, Ecotrin, Ascriptin). Avoid NSAID's if pregnant or allergic.

Varies : It varies in part based upon the cause of the pain. But general principles include maintaining ideal body weight, being active, avoid activities that clearly aggravate your symptoms, and consider an "anti-inflammatory" diet. Smoking, obesity best avoided.

Joint pains: Depends on the cause of pain, age of patient and other medical conditions. Mainly symptomatic relief with paracetamol or brufen. But if pain die to infection , antibiotics will be needed along with orthopaedic review. If it is injury- pain relief+ rule out fracture. If arthritis- pain relief + bloods + rheumatologist review. If viral fever- pain relief+ time. Stomach ulcers- no NSAIDs . See Doctor
