Achy Joints

[mudflat]

Going into week 6 of this journey my joints have really started hurting/ aching. My knees especially but can even feel it in my fingers. I take OTC supplements and pills but nothing seems to help. Im 42 and my first test cycle. Been putting up with the other pains but this joint pain sucks. Any experts shed any insight to this problem?

take fish oils in large amounts does the trick!

When you say large how large are we talking I suffer from the same thing and I'm only 30 alltough when I'm on cycle the water retention helps ease the pain, I take 3000mg of omega 3 a day and this seems to do nothing. My knees are also the most affected.

Are you taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) mudflat? Horrible joint pain is usually a warning that you're dropping your estradiol levels too low. If not, is this exercise related? Do you notice more pain after a training session for example?

idk i usually had shoulder issues and i take 5000mg and now i don't have any, try ramping it up for a bit and see if that works, also just take it easy for a bit too!

MudFlat,

I am on my first cycle also and as per the advice on the sticky thread, I started taking 12.5 mg or aromasin ed from day one. After a couple of days, I had pretty bad joint pains. I learned (from guys here) that this is usually a sign of too much Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (low estrogen). I stopped taking the aromasin and two days later the pains were gone !! If you are taking Aromatase inhibitor (AI), check if you are taking too much.

yea that tooo, maybe ur estrogen is tanked, or maybe you just have shitty joints cause ur getting old

Don't stop completely, do it eod or cut the dose. You don't want to drop it from the mix, just reduce it.

Glucosamine or a heavy dose of deca.

I started using MP Bulletproof and my joints and tendons felt quite a bit better. I actually got an estim machine for $100 and it has been a lifesaver!

Taking 6.25/mg which is .25/ml of liquid stane (ed) everyday. I have not noticed much difference after working out other than the extreme pumps I'm getting. I do notice my tendons hurt more now but I associate that with the increased weights in the gym. My tendons in my arms get real tight and straightening the arm can be painful. The PIP in my ass cheeks has gone away since the muscle is no longer virgin. I will decrease my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) use to every third day and see if that helps. I did notice my nipple sensitivity was down recently. For all of you that are thinking about steroid use, it comes with a price at my age. Listen to these vets cause its not all fun and games, these sides are real!

Agreed.... Too much AI.... Ease it back a bit and you'll feel better. I take a low dose of anastozole (.5 e3d) and still my joints ache a bit the day after I take it. I make sure I don't take my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) till AFTER I do my leg workout since, like you say, I feel it most in me knees and also my feet.
