I agree with Loretta on the keep moving and get in the pool at your local Y. I take an arthritis plus class. When you are in the water you are weightless and there is very little pain while you are moving. Water walking and the arthritis class along with my chiropractor are essential to helping me keep my pain under control. I started with PT in the water and I still do what I learned it's just on my own.
Take care,
