This is a really good overview of treatments for osteoarthritis. I also believe heat and cold packs are useful way to relieve the pain. Use heat when you are stiff and cold when you are in pain. A hotwater bottle wrapped in a hand towel and frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel work fine but try to wrap the joint up so you may need two. How long you leave it on for depends on which joint but more information can be found for individual joints at www.exercisesforosteoarthritis.com
