See pcp: First need to know what joint you are referring to.Second need to know what is causing the joint pain, that can be determine by physical exam of the joint and x-ray, that will determine weather the pain is comming from intraarticular or extraarticular pathology.Best is to see your pcp.

NSAIDs ice exercise : Pain, stiffness, and inflammation can be relieved with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 30-45 minutes will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Gentle range of motion and low impact cardiovascular exercises.
