Have tendonitis? try this!

[supreme]

Guys:

I developed a serious case of tennis elbow doing snatch grip deadlifts, cleans etc. Has kept me from training and seriously bummed me out; even affecting me at work- couldn't lift a 5 lb dumbell without intense pain for the last 5 weeks! OTC anit-inflammatory's, flax oil and anti-oxidants didn't do shit!

Had a book sitting in my library that I hadn't read; The Miracle of MSM written by a couple of MD's. Anyway I told some clients with arthritis etc to read it and try it. I was out shopping and the pain was as bad as ever ( I was actually going for a cortisone shot this week if it didn't go away). I saw a bottle that's a combo of MSM and Glucosamine, so I bought it to give it a shot.

I took a massive loading dose to start and then some with every meal, well later that night the pain was gone!. That was 2 days ago, I have been taking large doses 3-5x/ day and tonight I did an upper body workout, hitting each major muscle group to test my reaction and NO PAIN!!! I have used glucosamine before and got so so results; The MSM is F'in amazing, totally psyched to return to my workout schedule tomorrow!!


If you have any type of inflammatory pain -try this !! it's cheap & natural, no toxicity to the liver!

What is MSM?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Yeah this sounds a bit too good to be true man. Almost like you'd be trying to sell something. Though I always remember you being a reliable source of info, so I doubt that kinda. No pain here yet anyway, but when I do get some, I'll give it a try.

Do tell us more about it.

Methyl Sulphynol Methane or some such...?

Supposed to work wonders, but I thought it was for cartilidge type issues, like Glucosomine. That's cool if it's working for your tendonitis.

MSM is an analgesic isn't it?

 

[supreme]

I forgot the actual chemical name but it is methyl - sulfyl - ?????, but anyway I'm not selling anything just putting up info that I found hard to believe myself untill I tried it.

Don't listen to me find a book on it, the one I read is "The Miracle of MSM" and it has chapters on inflammation, joint pain, tendonitis, athletic injureis, arthritis etc. and make your own decision. Try any brand that you think is reliable.

I think if you search around the web you will find many credible people reccomending it. I didn't have time to do a med-line search but I'm sure there is some research on it.

bottom line after almost 5 weeks of misery and not being able to train, I am back in the gym about 90-95% intensity and getting better every day.

I recently picked that up for some petella issues. Seems to be working, although I have been using a somewhat low dose. It does seem a little expensive - like $1 a day for mine which is 1.5 or 1.2 g per dossage of each of those.

Any idea where I can get them cheaper?

I use a combo tablet by Schiff that is 500mg MSM & 500 mg Glucosamine - got mine at costco - 16.99 for 250 tablets.

I take 6 tabs with my first meal & 3 with 2-3 other meals for a total of about 15 tabs per day. gives me roughly 7.5 grams of each per day. you can probably buy on line in bulk somewhere

One word....Expensive.

 

[supreme]

Expensive???

It costs roughly a dollar a day??? If I buy 2 bottles that cost a total of $34.00 and that gives me 500 tabs total and I use 12-15 tabs /day this lasts me approx 33 days. I bet if I search on line I can do even better

I mean guys use Gh to heal injuries and they are paying anywhere from $2 - $10 an I.U. depending on the brand and the source. This stuff is legal and has no sides (obviously it won't burn fat like GH or have any anabolic properties)


Think of all the worthless supplements by EAS, Muscle Tech etc. and the overpriced stuff from Twinlabs & Prolab; a dollar a day for pain free movements and hopefully repair of joint surfaces seems like a good deal to me!

well I'm off to search for an even cheaper brand because at least for me this stuff works and I want to take as much as I can!!

I use the cream lotion where you rub it at the knees. Works really well. The brand is Kordel's Arthrocare.

 

[supreme]

Cool!

I think I try the cream post squat workout!

Good info, thanks. And a dollar a day is definately not expensive if it relieves the pain.
