How to kill arthritis pain without “painkillers”?

Why does everyone ignore the PT in the room??? They’re the only one with real knowledge worth listening to- movement expert (better than a physician). I’d also wager that everyone touting reduce inflammation in the body has no idea what inflammation is, how to measure it, positive effects, negative effects, etc. Most of the suggestions here are n=1 without the management of confounding variables. It’s equivalent to people saying they got sick because they went outside in the cold with wet hair. Listen to a movement expert. By the way, our bodies demonstrate arthritic changes from the age of 20. There’s nothing in the literature that says arthritis has to hurt. In fact, orthopedic pain is typically self limiting and yours is likely to go away as long as you reduce the offending activities. Be sensible and talk to a PT if it’s that bad. It won’t help you to follow the vague non-sensical inflammatory discussion as it’s Just comments without any ability to prove an outcome.

I had a long response here but I deleted it. I realize that there is no point when the only trained professional that can help him is a PT.
