In the case of Osteoarthritis, a glucosamine supplement daily can be a big help, but it doesn't work quickly - figure six months to a year, but the longer you use it the more helpful it is, trust me. For Rheumatoid arthritis, whatever your doctor prescribes is what will help most.

When you "click" or "crack" your knuckles you are actually pulling bones apart, reducing the pressure in the synovial fluid and popping gas bubbles. So, no.

But forewarned cracking your knuckles will cause loose tendons in your hands, soft tissue damage and lose your grip strength.
