Hi,
This problem will have phases of exacerbations. During swelling phase, rest / brace, cold application, painkiller and anti-inflammatory drugs would help while when there is no swelling work on mobility and strength of the joint.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
