Many good treatments: High doses of niacinamide (2000-4000 mg /day divided into 3-4 doses) were found to be very helpful for most with osteoarthritis back in the 1940's! see http://orthomolecular.Org/library/jom/1997/articles/1997-v12n04-p195.Shtml also consider vit. C, e and selenium. Glucosamine sulfate and boswellia also proven to help: http://tahomaclinicblog.Com/degenerative-arthritis-osteoarthritis/ see comment:.
