Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
Hi well I have pain in my ribs called Costochondritis. It started as severe pain in my left ribcage below my breast. Now it is in the centre of my chest near the sternum. It is hurting and pulling there. It feels very uncomfortable. The doctor said it was caused by a virus. My mum,dad and brother all have arthritis. Has anyone else had it in their ribs? Im wondering if to try natural supplements like Omega 3 now. Im only on painkillers otherwise and can't take anti-inflammatories due to a bad stomach. Has anyone had any pain relief from Omega 3? I supose I will just have to try it. Im just hopin g it won't make it worse. Thanks
It can sometimes clear up after a while. so hopefully yours will improve and get better.
Yes..omega 3's are good to have in our diet anyway whether we have arthritis or not. It's anti-inflammatory and it's good for the heart, and good for our mood. It's good to take supplements and also consume foods that naturally have the omega 3 essential fatty acid.
I take fish oil capsules and I put flax oil on my salads. I eat fish a couple of times a week. I like walnuts on my salads. all natural omega 3 sources. I do feel that it's helpful.
Enjoy adding it to your health care regime.
