Arthritis, what to do?

I am having some strange minor pains/tingles in the right arm and hand.

Not wanting to be the typical middle age male I went to the doctor and got it checked out.

After a extensive Q and A about what I was feeling the Dr. told me it was not my heart.

However after two ex-rays he announced I had minor arthritis in my neck that was effecting my right arm/hand.

He gave me a script for some antiinflamatories and sent me on my way.

I should have asked the Doc but was kinda bummed that at 55 I had finally got arthritis.

Question being what is the best as far as exercise? More or less? When I google arthritis all I get are drug ads.

When I do some simple stretching and curls with a girly dumbbell (5lbs) it seems to get better... but don't want to make it worse in the long run.

TIA
