Have you tried yoga? I take it through my gym & they offer various classes, including gentle yoga. Make sure to talk to the instructor beforehand to explain the problems you're having. The instructor should explain modifications to the poses and may also concentrate on poses that will most assist your problems.

Yoga helps your body learn the proper ways to moves, as well as strengthening the support structures for your joints so that they start taking on more of the work.

I hear Tai Chi is good for joints, as well, but I haven't tried it, yet.

Good luck!
