F'N Joint Pain

[tzan]

I've got two weeks left on my cycle(test only) and my elbows are killing me. I've decided to take a solid week off of the gym in hopes of giving my body a much needed rest. I also stopped taking the armidex and bought some glucosamene hopping to speed my joint relief up. For those of you that use a neosporene wrap: I obviously where it when I lift, but I was thinking about wearing it just about all the time for this week(except when I sleep) what would be the pro's or con's by doing this??

P.S. Cycle was just 500mg ICN Enanthate for 12 weeks and so far after 10 I've gained a SOLID 20lbs. Very Very happy with the results, just don't want to fuck it up now!!

Did you try glucosamine?

Try MSM. Start off at about 6 grams a day then work your way up to a dose where the pain subsides (for me that is between 12 and 16 grams a day). It worked much faster than glucosamine (which I took for 2 months and noticed NOTHING, whereas with MSM it took less than 2 weeks to notice some major improvements.

it could be a couple things, partially from extra mass and strength gained and possibly the ana as well. Avoid anti-inflamatories and ease up on the weights a bit and see if it improves. Use heat to promote blood flow it will encourage healing and avoid ice.

Thanks for the input fellas. I will heat it and try some msm. What is msm by the way?? What do you think about wearing my neosporene sleeve for like 12 hours a day for this week??

All it is is organic sulfur. Its quite abundant in the body but when you take large doses it has a tendency to flush out toxins and "lube" up joints, much like deca imo. I believe it may work by increasing synovial fluid in the joint (but this is pure speculation). All I know is that I tore my labrum years ago and could not move my arm for nearly 6 months. After taking it for only two weeks I had regained ~85% range of motion and strength came back rapidly after that. It's technical name is methylsulfonylmethane. Go to google and do a search on it.

always happens to me at end of heavy cycle heavy lifting takes its toll. Take a break anti-inflam, glucosomine, even tried Sam-e.
Maybe deca could help a bit, it didn't help me though.
good luck!

you can get it at any health/vitamin store, but much cheaper online. I used to get mine on ebay alot, but I got lazy and just buy it at my local vitamin shop now (and pay twice as much )
