Hi, My dad is in his 70s and has developed arthritis in his knees and
one shoulder. Hes not taking any medication for pain. Can someone
suggest a medication that has brought them relief? Is there any
consensus on which medication is best for the arthritis? Thanks

He needs to see his doctor and ask for a referral to a rheumatologist. There are
many types of arthritis, and no one medication that works for all.

I agree with Joan. His other medications and illnesses also need to be
taken into consideration when considering a medication.
