Modify activities: Anti-inflammatory medications, injections with hyaluronic acid or steriod, activity modification and bracing may help. Maintaining appropriate weight is beneficial if this is an issue. The key is to be as active as possible while not doing anything that will aggravate it. It is also reasonable to believe any improvement in your mental health will allow you to better tolerate any existing pain.
