I had bursitis in my hip, at least that is what the doctor thought it was. He injected me with cortisone and it got somewhat better. Actually, I am plagued by joint and muscle and tendon pain and I'm always looking for things to help it. Recently I started taking SAM-E, 5-HTP and St. John's Wort and adopted a gluten free diet, switched around my thyroid meds and... (holding breath) things are REALLY good right now.

Unfortunately I changed a lot of things quickly (I was suffering!) so if those changes helped I don't know which did it. It could just be a periodic remission or something.

I take fish oil, about 3 grams a day. It doesn't help with the aches and pains but I know it is good for you in many other ways so I still take it.
