Arthritis has a pretty poor kind of outcome, does it not, getting slowly worse and worse. I've got osteo under my patella from an old injury and try to keep it under control with all those alternative things you'd be aware of, herbs, antiinflammatory oils and flavanoids and glucosamine.
Ibuprofen is not good long term and will probably affect your gut. I can't take any amount of it.
I've had osteo for > 5 years and have stopped it getting worse but haven't made it go away. I think it's important to get on top of it to see if you can get a better outcome.
