Same issue here and same age. Had cortisone shot, Meloxicam, and have a tube of Voltaren right in front of me. Nothing has really helped. They all relieve the pain a bit, but not enough to justify taking or applying them on a daily basis. Dr. recommended surgery if it gets to the point where I can't take it anymore, but I'm not at that point yet. Plus the recuperation time was way too long for me. I also play guitar and piano and it does get sore after a few minutes of playing. Especially the guitar.
