Acetaminophen

Is still first line with NSAIDs second line when it comes to analgesics. Have restored this to the summary of the management. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:26, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative medicine

I was very surprised to see a section on alternative medicine, which is an oxymoron in itself, particularly considering Wikipedia guidance on using only verified sources and information. I.e. what do you call an alternative medicine which works? A medicine!!! A better title would be Unverified Treatments. I am not an expert on Osteoarthritis, so I will leave it to others with more knowledge to edit. Lkingscott (talk) 10:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion and done. Zefr (talk) 17:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
