Fish Oil

Fish oil is a nutritional supplement that has shown some promising beneficial effects for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which may have anti-inflammatory effects. In studies, patients who took a supplement of fish oil reported decreased pain. No serious side effects were noted; thus, this supplement may be worth trying if you are looking for alternative pain relief (Tidow-Kebritchi and Mobarhan 2001; Curtis et al. 2002; Calder 2002).
