A few things I've tried that have been successful some of the time: acupuncture/acupressure, hot springs, essential oils (Young Living Oils is a very high quality brand but it's a pyramid-type company, ordered over the phone: 800-763-9963), avoiding caffeine, sugar, alcohol; visiting a good chiropractor who uses muscle testing, massage. A good naturopath may be able to suggest supplements that address arthritis pain/swelling. There are also breathing techniques and meditation that may help. Good luck.
