Does a hot tub help with pain?

There is some evidence for this, yes.  There are some studies that have found that some of the pain from a joint replacement (this refers to a surgery where they replace a joint that’s damaged) could be reduced by immersing the joint in hot water.

What about for arthritis?

It depends on the joint you are talking about.  Some studies found that for the knees and hips, there was an improvement in pain and physical functioning after a 6 week course of hot tub therapy.
