Hi,

Instead of relying only on medicines try alternative therapies like physiotherapy as in physiotherapy there are machines like (ift and tens), heating therapy along with graded exercises program which can work wonders in osteoarthritis pain, and for COPD. Chest physiotherapy can work wonders in relieving chest congestion improving O2 saturation also. Please visit any physiotherapy clinic.

Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
