Is there something from the health food store to help wtih my father's knee pain

Is there something from the health food store to help wtih my father's knee pain?
He has Parkinsons disease and the doctor says this is a normal symptom. The pain relief rubs seem to have minimal effect. How about Flaxin (sp?) ? I heard it on "Duke and the Doctor" and it is suppose to help with joint pain.

THIS ISN'T FROM THE HEALTH FOOD STORE BUT TYLENOL PM AT NIGHT REALLY HELPS. ALSO PAIN PATCHES FROM THE DRUG STORE. THEY ARE INEXPENSIVE AND SOME HAVE THE SEAL OF GOOD HOUSEKEEPING GUARANTEE ON THEM

I would have him check with his doctor but fish oil or anything with omega 3's and your EFA's (essential fatty acids) like flax seed or borage seed oil can really help with join lubrication and I believe many other functions of the body. I do think that fish oil has some type of blood thinning properties though so that is why I would check with the doctor. Also look into the homeopathic medicines. These medicines are usually wonderful for this kind of thing and rarely interact with other drugs. Also massage and acupuncture can really help these symptoms as well and if he is open to it, energy work like Reiki or cranial sacral therapy could have some wonderful benefits overall for him as well.
