The NSAID's (advil, aleve) are the first line of treatment in dealing with inflammation. If those don't do the trick, the next step would be a steroid to decrease the inflammatory response. If still nothing, a more powerful drug such as methotrexate (for rheumatoid arthritis, not osteoarthritis) would need to be prescribed.

Over time, these rough patches and bone spurs start to "lock" the joint in place, reducing the range of motion of that joint.
