Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Arthritis means inflammation of joint that is healed with anti inflammatory drugs. NSAIDs are safe and best inflammatory drugs. Over the counter NSAIDs are Advil, Mortin, Aleve. However these should be used with at least two glasses of water and Proton pump inhibitors.
I would like to advise you Quadriceps strengthening excersizes and topical Capsicin cream and occasional use of NSAIDs if pain is severe.
if pain does not respond to one month treatment then go for MRI knee joint to digout other causes.
Hope it helps best.
