Hello, I'm sorry to hear about this problem. What you are experiencing is due to joint degeneration due to age,and unfortunately, there isn't much anyone can do to stop it. All you can do is try to control the symptoms. First of all, switching to tylenol from advil would likely be safer, because using advil everyday may hurt your kidneys in the long term, and that would be a disaster. You may ask your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist, this often helps the symptoms and makes people feel like their joints feel better. The last approach, which is not proven to work in everyone is chondrotin supplements and glucosamine supplements , they are both taken by mouth and are available over the counter. Some people report improvement of symptoms with them. Short of surgery to replace the joints , these are the best options
