Supposedly a fish oil supplement is good for your joints. try researching that.
...and no, I'm not joking for a change. |

You are right, i have been recommended Cod Liver Oil before.
I have never tried it though, or anything, but its getting to the point i need to do something. |

I had a friend who used an extra virgin olive oil, would massage it in...
swore it worked. Personally I don't know. |

They make fish oil pills that are rather easy to take. Its pretty much a gell cap and some of them they weill add a lemon flavor or something else so it goes down easy. Ive tken it before...its not bad. |

Worked for him, he had it so bad in his feet they would swell up like footballs.. edit..it didn't take pain away completely..he said it helped. |

My dad has Gout. It is similar in a way to my arthritis as my problems are mainly in the feet and hands. But the difference is mine will keep getting worse with no treatment. |
