Heres some information on corticosteroids for all of us sitting on the Disabled and bench list lol

What are corticosteroids?

Corticosteroids are a class of medications that are related to cortisone. Medications of this class reduce inflammation powerfully. They are used to reduce inflammation caused by a variety of diseases. Cortisone is one type of corticosteroid. For the purpose of this review, "cortisone" is used interchangeably with "corticosteroid."

Corticosteroids can be taken by mouth, inhaled, applied to the skin, given intravenously (into a vein), or injected into the tissues of the body. Examples of corticosteroids include prednisone and prednisolone (given by mouth), solumedrol (given intravenously), as well as triamcinolone, kenalog, celestone, depomedrol and others (given by injection into body tissues). This article describes the role of cortisone injections into the soft tissues and joints.


Is a cortisone injection merely a pain reliever or temporary remedy?

Corticosteroids are not pain relievers. They reduce inflammation. When corticosteroids relieve pain it is because they have reduced inflammation.

While the inflammation for which corticosteroids are given can recur, corticosteroid injections can provide months to years of relief when used properly. These injections also can cure diseases (permanently resolve them) when the problem is tissue inflammation localized to a small area, such as bursitis and tendonitis.


For what conditions are cortisone injections used?

Cortisone injections can be used to treat the inflammation of small areas of the body (local injections) or they can be used to treat inflammation that is widespread throughout the body (systemic injections). Examples of conditions for which local cortisone injections are used include inflammation of a bursa (bursitis), a tendon (tendonitis), and a joint (arthritis). Systemic corticosteroid injections are used for conditions such as allergic reactions, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis affecting many joints.

Or just do Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - , na just kidding it will just mask the problem get it looked at if not it will only get worse

sure for pulling water into the joints

i am on 1500mg of test E bro i think it does about the same

but it serves no purpose for tendon tears

and youre right it may mask the problem.

i have had some painful bouts of tennis elbow
heres is what helped me
get yourself a tennis elbow brace this made the biggest difference
it helps keep the tendon pinned down at a lower point and takes the stress of the damged area
i also had good luck heating the area everynight and giving myself real deep massages on the wounded tendon
time off i s the biggest factor witch if your like me and enjoy training you will find this next to impossible
i also found ways to work around the injury using machines and what not
i found the biggest factor is gripping things ,when you squeeze tight it pulls on the tendon
i would use as little antiinflamitorys as possible they will slow down the healing process
i know where your at man watch the diet do your cardio and rest and you will be back in no time
good luck

 

[holy ghost]

excellent advice! thanks brother!
yes i have wrist straps for pulling motions ( tbar etc)
and elbow braces AND tennis elbow straps.

 

[wellbilt]

looks like you have a good start
i would just lay off all uperbody excersizes for 2 weeks and kill my legs and abs
and of course do as much cardio as possible
when you do go back to working out ease into it
i know that sounds like common knowledge but these injuries happen so fast all it takes is one fuck up and its back
use machine as muck as possible when you gety back into it
