Omega-3 fish oil for joint pain?
Several posts are complaining about joint pain apparently caused by various drugs.
I wonder if Omega-3 fish oil pills might help relieve this type of pain if it involves inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids act as anti inflammation agents (COX-2 inhibition) in a way similar to Celebrex but without cardiovascular side effects.
They may also help control weight as they tend to increase the metabolic rate.
Since every case is different ask your caregiver if you might benefit or not from this kind of supplementation.
