The current treatment guideline for OA, based on a recent literature review by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, strongly suggest that you keep up with a good gym program to stay strong, keep unnecessary weight off, maintain heart health with a low-impact aerobic activity (like biking), and correct any faulty biomechanics or strength discrepancies. You can manage your pain with NSAIDs or tramadol.
