A person that is in severe pain for Arthritis should be working closely with their specialist. The specialist will decide what is best for each individual patient. Exercise is extremely important for people with arthritis and it's true when they say 'if you don't use it you lose it.' Go for slow walks, do exercises in water (such a pools) as the body is more buoyant. Mild stretching exercises. Doing light chores around home and then taking a rest in between, but keep moving! Pain medication for arthritic individuals can be extremely hard on the stomach, liver and kidneys so it's important to work with your specialist.

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are both considered pain killers, but one might be better than the other for certain symptoms.

Its usually safe to switch between the two, but ask your doctor first, and then you can figure out which one works better for your symptoms.
Which pill is better for pain relief advil or Tylenol?
Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (Naproxen sodium, which in higher doses is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory), and aspirin may be better at helping calm down the inflammation which part of the migraine reaction than Tylenol (acetaminophen, in the UK/AU - paracetamol) That said, some people do find relieve from preparations like Excedrin (Excedrin Migraine is the same thing, same ingredients in the same amounts), which have acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine in it. Caffeine helps by making the other medications work faster, as well as acting as a vasoconstrictor (temporarily acting on inflamed blood vessels). Aspirin, like ibuprofen and naproxen, acts on prostaglandins to reduce pain and inflammation. Acetaminophen itself really only reduces pain, it does not act on inflammation. If you are under 18 or pregnant/nursing, it may not be safe to take aspirin. If you an adult on anti-coagulant therapy (coumadin, warfarin) , please speak to your doctor first.
