Get it evaluated: It depends on the type of arthritis. Home remedies usually do not work. See a rheumatologist.

Diet: I am a big fan of antiinflammatory type diets and their effects are well documented for numerous conditions. My personal choice is a whole foods, vegan diet with avoidance of any dairy or animal proteins. It has not been accepted by what i would call traditional medicine, but the results can be amazing. Thank you for the question.
