advice on joint pain

[KaiserSose]

I have been having a weird ass pain in my left inner elbow area, ,it really bothers me when doing any type of curling, , I can do presses no probllem I can do just about anything but if I barbell curl or preacher curl it hurts like a mofo, ,im assuming joint related although never had this problem, I have been throwing up some serious weight lately probably the reason, well needless to say haven't been able to train bis very well all I can do are hammer curls, ,any suggestions? By the way currently off cycle..

Try taking Glucosamine Chondroitin for your joints. I've had similar experiences in the past while curling, and it turned out that my forearms just weren't up to par with my bis. Over time they caught up though.

Hey kaiser, what's the pain like when you try to sleep at night? Does it get worse or doesn't hurt at all? Just wondering if it's tennis elbow because I deal with that all the time. If not, then like boosted said, take Glucosamine Chondroitin BUT, my surgeon told me if you take that stuff but try to get the one that has Sulfate in it, it will help even more then just the Glucosamine Chondroitin. I've been taking it for years due to a wrist injury and if I stop taking it, my wrist hurst like hell within a week.

No pain at all unless I lift something in a curling motion like I can't even flex my bi in my left arm, picking up my one year old irritates it, I have never heard of that stuff can I find it at like a Walgreens or do I need a script,,im taking a few days off from the gym hope that helps

If you do a search for Glucosamine Chondroitin on Walmarts website, it'll give you an idea of what you're looking for. You can get it pretty much anywhere like that or Health Stores and no script is needed.

This what you're looking for pretty much. I get mine at the local grocery. If you look around a bit, you can normally find them BOGO free. And the MSM is the Sulfate stuff Animal was talking about.

Ice the crap out of it too. That will help take the inflammation down.

Minor anti-inflammatories, ice for 15 minutes every once in awhile, and rest it when your not training if possible.

I used to have some elbow issues, depending on what kind of joint "pain" I feel I can very quickly focus on resting it to prevent long term issues....

I already have achilles tendinitis in both legs, makes you cautious.
