One thing that really helps dog & people alike is Glucosamine & condroitin (sp?), however over the counter people meds aren't going to tell you what dose to give your dog, ask your vet.

∙ 14y agoAn effective remedy would be Arthro-Ionx with organic Glucosamine which really help to relieve muscle pain and eliminate the joint pain in dogs.
Pets with hip dysplasia may also benefit from the effects of Glucosamine.

I got this from a vet website

Aspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.

There are prescription drops for inflammation. Most over the counter drops will only soothe it a bit.
