I read that a small qty a day of olive oil is helpful for joint pain. I wonder if anyone is taking this or has investigated EVOO benefits for joints or cancer?
Hi there, I've not explored this myself but I do know that it's best to seek some medical advice before making major diet changes (or taking supplements). You could always give the lovely folks here at Macmillan a call on 0800 808 0000 to seek their advice too. Best wishes
I take a daily hemp oil capsule and it makes a difference for me. I had terrible hip pain overnight when I first started exemestane so tried hemp oil, which is rishi in omegas.
The overnight hip pain went away. I stopped taking it for a few months a year or so ago just to see what would happen and the hip pain came back!
It doesn't solve everything, I do get sciatica pain but I guess that's a nerve rather than joints.
Sorry I don't know whether olive oil would do the same thing!
Yeah I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as having had BC twice and being menopausal! Honestly, I found no difference. So much of this stuff is personal. Try it, see if it works, if after a month there’s no improvement, stop. Genuinely hope it works for you xx
