Hi
They say the worse the pain, the more you should move.
I have personally found that advice hard to take.
I used to get a prescription dose of ibuprofen with stomach meds mixed in. Sorry I cannot remember the name of the prescription. It worked well except after time, it causes major issues with my stomach. Soon after, I had weight loss surgery and you cannot take any ibuprofen or aspirin type meds. I don't find and strength of Tylenol type meds help.
I HAVE found that being in a warm water pool helps. I have gone through aquatic physical therapy and it did help. After I was done with the therapy, I joined a gym that had the therapy pool. Also, the Arthritis Foundation has classes throughout the country. It might be worth a try.

Good luck and have a pain free day.....
