Osteoarthritis: You can take acetaminophen(Tylenol) but not while drinking alcohol in more than mild amounts. You could try taking glucosamine and chondroitin which has helped some patients with osteoarthritis. If it hasn't helped by 3 months stop it. For pain relief tramadol can be prescribed. A rheumatologist could advise you further.
