   limit sodium intake
   ask doctor for diuretic
   NSAID like ibuprofen – it’s an anti-inflammatory; will reduce inflammation therefore swelling!

   Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are the standard treatment for arthritis pain as they reduce the inflammation and swelling of the joints. These medicines include things like Advil and Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve, Norgesic, etc. There are stronger ones that can be obtained with a prescription from a doctor. Most patients find the most pain relief if they take the anti inflammatories on a regular basis, and not just wait for a painful flare up.
   If a person is overweight (20-30 pounds or more) there can be benefits to losing weight—fewer pounds to carry around means less stress on joints. Gentle regular exercise is also beneficial (walking, swimming, biking)
   In terms of supplements, some people have found that taking glucosamine sulfate helps somewhat, especially if the arthritis pain is in the knees or ankles.
