Question: Can fish oil supplements help ease my arthritis? My orthopedist says they might make my sore knees feel better. What do you think?
Dr. Hibberd’s answer:
Fish oil supplements have been reported to help some with arthritis. I think you have nothing to lose by discussing this with your primary physician, and ask if it’s a good idea for you take prescription Lovaza.
Taking one to two grams of Lovaza twice daily can help with arthritis pain in some people. Your doctor is in the best position to advise you on whether you may benefit from a lower dose or over-the-counter varieties of pure cold water-derived fish oil supplements, which are inexpensive.
