I need opinions...tendonitis and DECA

[wayneboard1]

I hope Radar or X or someone of that caliber will chime in becuase I think this is a good question. I have not used Deca but constantly deal with tendonitis. I did look into deca for this very reason and what I read and was told is that it helps with the lubrication of joints and the cartalidge but does NOT heal or repair inflammed tendons and/or ligaments. It sounds like in this case you need to lay off the softball and REST. The twisting motion of throwing a ball is one of the most painful things to do when mine is flared up.

Look up a post by Radar entitled "for the older bro's". It tells of having 1-2 servings of jello a day, and it helps the joints.

I've got tendonitis in one of my elbows and can be a little painful from time to time. Since I've started test/deca cycle the pain is nearly all gone. I know the problem is partly being masked but I'm enjoying not having any pain there. So anyway there's my 2 cents..............

My experience would also be anecdotal andnot medical..But I have the same problem, and when on Deca it definitely gets better. I have found after a cycle it continues to be better for some time. The soreness does not come back until I start lifting heavy again. I too have had great results w/ DMSO and the OTC supplement Glucosamine. So there's my input. Peace

That is what I am hearing the most from other people that it helped them with their joints but no one used it with tendonitis yet that I know of so that is why I was looking for the science behind it.

They will not help the tendonitis, Sorry. I took deca after rotator cuff surgery and it did wonders to help me recover and relief the pain of heavier weights. I had tennis elbow at the time and it was severe. It did not help I eventually had surgery. I am healed now. Deca will help lube the joints tendonits is inflamation of the tendon and it could help but you would most likely have to rest it in combination with AS, but we know that is not an option.
