I find that doing weight exercises 3x a week and drinking 12oz of tart cherry juice at night has helped. I saw an article that said that 12oz tart cherry juice was equal to 600mg of an NSAID. It also contains natural melatonin. I sometimes take a child's dose of melatonin and a magnesium citrate gummy at bed time. I also do exercises that stretch the psoas muscles to relieve lumbar arthritis pain. I'm not a health care professional so this is purely anecdotal.
