Beware of addiction: Medicating chronic pain can be tricky, especially with opoid analgesics. Ultram (tramadol) is a nice alternative with far less addictive potential. Glucosamine and chondrotin sulfate can be helpful., as well a prudent intermittent use of prescription non steroidal antinflammatants. Depending on which state you live cannabis may be an option, either smoked or thc used by extraction.

See Ortho/Rheum: You need an orthpedists and a rheumatologist. Also go on line for more holistic treatment as adjunct treatment. Finally pain med may be appropriate in certain individuals.
