Eric Talmert over at elite says that sugars and grain are the main irritant of joint problems. So, taking these out of your diet, is supposed to help.
Here's a long q&a, but it's probably something you're looking for:
i have also heard that epsom salt baths help with soreness, although, i think that's muscle and not joints.
You can also do high rep banded stuff, barebell or db, to flush blood to that area. Plus, if they're inflamed, rest will help lots.

Thanks for all that!
about the high rep stuff, I have to avoid getting pumps in my arm (especially shoulder/tris) waaaaay to painful when the blood gets in there. It feels like my arms are going to 'pop' and almost puts me in tears.. Taurine seems to help. I once took a NO product and cried like a girl haha.
