I am allergic to all shellfish. which, if any of these pill (fish oil, krill, omega 3's) can i take to help with arthritis in my joints?

Fish oil: It is unlikely that you would have an allergic reaction to even the oil from shellfish but it is certainly safe for you to take fish oil since fish allergens do not cross-react to shellfish.
