Been running 4 IU (5 on/2 off) for about 5 months now and pain and swelling in my hands have stayed steady - some days worse...
Big problem trying to do straight bar curls cause the pain running up my forearm on one arm inhibits a good work out... Inaddition, aside from the pain, swelling seems to reduce my ability to physically hold the bar...
My greatest problem when I sleep is in my front delts -- they tighten up significantly and have a dull arthritic pain... Even some days while at the rock-pile (work) they hurt all day until I get in the gym and warm them up…
Overall body, joints have pain above the waist…
Q: Have about 2 months left – can I stop and start again… Or is it best to run everything together…
