Sounds like you are doing all the right things Dextersam. I’ve got inflammatory arthritis rather than osteoarthritis but I know I’m far more creaky in this heat than I am in ‘normal’ weather. I would stick with the icing - have you tried Bio Freeze Cool roll on? That might help,

I’d keep drinking as much water as you can to stay well hydrated. I’ve got an elasticated knee sleeve - it’s like a stretchy knitted tube - that I used the other day when my knee was a bit dodgy, if you’ve not tried that it might be worth giving it a go.

Dextersam10 investigate boron for your osteoarthritis knee. Dr Jorge Flechas MD has a youtube video about boron worth watching. Always consult with your health care provider before using any supplement.
