What's the Most Effective Arthritis Painkiller?

By    |   Tuesday, 22 October 2013 04:06 PM EDT

Question: What is the most effective painkiller to take for chronic pain because of osteoarthritis?

Dr. Hibberd's answer:
 
Chronic pain is best managed with the least toxic medications, since we have no cure yet for osteoarthritis. Start with Tylenol, 500 milligrams four times a day, then add to it, as necessary, in consultation with your physician.
 
Anti-inflammatories and local joint injections can relieve pain, but nothing can cure the condition, so we are stuck with managing symptoms, at least for now.
