Gear and Joint Problems
I am hoping for some input from you bros.
I am 39 years old and have had minor arthritis for the past few years. It is worst in the morning. Mostly stiffness not much pain. I have done 3 cycles in the past 1 1/2 years and in the past few months it has gotten much worse. Stiffness and some pain in the hips and back especially. Not just in the morning, but anytime I sit still for more than 15 min or so.
I initally attributed this to the fact that I was lifting heavy weight and perhaps my joints were not designed for it. So I have backed off on the weight a bit.
QUESTION : can the AS itself contribute to the arthritis ? or is it most likley the joint strain due to the lifting itself ?
PS: my first 2 cycles contained DECA which improved the joints, perhaps masking the damage I was doing.
