Depends on symptoms: Treatment for arthritis really depends on the amount of symptoms you have. If the symptoms are severe and limiting function then surgical options are a good idea to consider. For more mild symptoms there are some minimally invasive procedures that also may provide some relief as well as steroid injections. A thorough evaluation by a specialist would be recommended.
