Joint pain from hell

[bigbassturd]

The past two weeks, all the knuckles on my left hand have been increasingly painful and is now becoming a workout issue.

I'm taking fish/krill oils, and have upped the dose, and I'm still taking forged joint repair since my body is still getting used to the strength gains from beast.

Wtf am I missing here? My workouts haven't changed other than shattering all my pr's, but the pain is more evident when gripping lightly, such as a steering wheel or door handle

If you are using forma/ai's you may be getting rid of too much estro, try lowering/eliminating the dose.

 

[bigbassturd]

Nope, pct is complete and I'm not taking anything at the moment aside from my regular supps like a multi and protein ect.

I'm afraid it might be tendonitis

do you wear gloves? grips? wraps? etc?

those will weaken your grip in a hurry.

also when you hold the weights squeezing too hard can screw you up too, try and loosen the grip

Could be, you can try adding some extra glucosamine sulfate into your daily intake. I know forged joint repair has some in it, I would personally add another 500-1000mg ed.

Can also take some aspirin to see if it helps with the pain, although it's hurting for a reason you should go easy on your joints for a bit now.

NEVER take anti inflammatories if you are a lifter. EVER EVER EVER. you will only damage yourself more long term.

when you take it you are shutting off your bodies response to heal pain. that makes no sense.. let the body do its job and don't stand in its way.

this is something young guys learn the hard way.

Yeah anti inflamitories and cortico-steroids are an absolute no go if you're a weightlifter, they increase your chance of injury ten fold

I don't wear any gloves or wraps since my gyms has really nice equipment with a light rubber coating on all of it

I might just be squeezing to hard, but that's a mental thing since this is more weight than I've ever been able to do in every category..

That could be it right there, are you compromising any form? Or have joint pain through certain parts of the lifts you didn't have before? Could be wear and tear..

Perhaps you need to mix in a light day to let's the joints heal up a bit before hitting it hard?

 

[bigbassturd]

My first couple years of lifting seriously, I had a trainer who was really strict on form, so I try to keep as best as I can to avoid injury. To me, if you can't lift the weight properly, you can't lift it.

I'm gonna try to take it easy a day or two, but its not really in the gym that I'm noticing it. More of when I'm driving or eating act..

And only in my left hand. The index and middle finger are the worst by far

DO you crack your knucks all day? Also.. I'm not saying this applies to your trainer but i have ran into a lot of trainers that don't know dick and should be sued for some of the advice they give out. Unless you have a masters cert or a bachelors in exercise science or you have experience that has been passed down by reputable mentors then I don't trust your words.

 

[bigbassturd]

No knuckle cracking, that's bad news. And I know how many shitty trainers there are, and I feel the same way, but I've also done extensive research on my own and know that the form I use is as close to perfect as I can manage.

You look a lot better with less effort long term if your form is correct

Spend much time on the computer? Holding a mouse? Typing on your phone?

Ice 3x a day, every day. Heat 3x a day, especially before training. Ice immediately after even if you don't need it. I'd ice your elbow, bicep tendon, and shoulder as well to be honest.

You could also look to pick up some Zostrix-HP from Wal Mart. Super hot cream that you can put on your knuckles. ATTENTION: The smallest drop will do your entire hand, wash your other hand, and don't touch anything sensitive for HOURS! It will get hot and even after you wash it...it will FRY anything else on your body too. That includes your junk...don't touch it!!!

You definitely should be supplementing. Check out My Perfect Joints - (My Perfect Bones . com) They will put in Glucosamine and Chondroitin and feed your joint cartilage!

This is really important. Check out some mobility stuff on YouTube and see if you are tight in areas. Could be some shoulder issues are causing your entire arm to be compromised.
I have recently began a 10minute a day regime of mobility work and noticed increased lifts and just better overall feeling of being in tune with my body. Might be something to look into.
