Here Comes Winter . . .

It's getting chilly out!!! Remember to throw those blankets on your horses if you haven't already!!
So my topic today is winter biting back. My friend rescued a former track horse 17.5hh (0.o). He has an old track injury in his knee and the cold is flaring it up. He can't be exercised and can barely walk. He's getting a temper as well. I tried cleaning his hooves to make sure there's no pebbles in it but he wouldn't lift his injured foot. When he ducked down to get hay his whole lower leg would lay on the ground. Any suggestions for pain meds or something to help? Do you think a wrap would help 
Note: He does not have a blanket, we live in Arizona it's not that cold but I did suggest to get one. Thanks for reading and happy snow trails!
