Which type of medication have you tried? How did it help/What were the results?
At what point did you start taking medication for osteoarthritis pain? Did/Have you experienced any side-effects?

Prescription: Nsaids and cortisone and cymbalta
Alternative: acupuncture, prolotherapy
NSAIDS did not help at all, cortisone did, but did not last. Cymbalta I just started, so I am hoping it does start working... I was told it takes a few weeks for it to get into the system enough.
