joint pain........DAMNIT

[rpwhit777]

Well I started my cycle, May 07 2003, and have been off now for two weeks. The gains have ben awesome aside from a three week lull about ten weeks in, but overall I have gained 27lbs and decreased Bf by 2%( Start 190 lbs at 8.5% bf Now at 217 and 6.5%). MY only problem is now I am experiencing major joint pain ecspecially in my knees and right shoulder. Any thing i can do for this??????? Thanks in advance for the help..

Having the same problem Bro, except mine is in the elbows. I'm not one to prescribe supplements, but I took a week off and started taking an MSM/Glucosamine Sulfate supplement. So far its helping.

Joint pain

If you havent tried supplementing MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) than give it a try.
It is a natural sulfar (not sulfa) It will help rebiuld connective tissue, it also supports liver function, a great anti inflammatory, and helps kill free radicals. Though it will make your hair.nails grow faster. Its great for nurishing the skin.
You'll want to start slow because it will cause diarriah (sp) at first, and take it twice a day, becuase it is water soluble. Start with 1000mg -1500mg a day and work your way up to 3000mg a day. Depending on the pains you have you can take more, I have taken 9000mg on a bad day. You'll have better results with MSM than Glucosamine
Just my 0.02
Good Luck

I could not agree more.. I swear by MSM.. it has done wonders for me...and several of my family members.. great stuff..

glucosamine works for me....out of no where i got a pain in my joint of my knee, and couldn't do squats, then next chest day my shoulder was on fire, i could barely do chest....glucosamine worked pretty good...never tried msm...

aside from supplements bro, you should stick to high reps for a while if the pain is bad. i know the tendancy is to stay heavy after a cycle but you dont want to risk an injury. better to lower the weight and do high reps for a couple of weeks.

I take Glucosamine/Chondroitin & MSM and I do not have joint pains anymore!

Fantom, are the effects of MSM immediate or does there have to to be a systemic buildup like glucosamine and chondroiton?

It only took about 3 days before I felt the effects.... not like glucosamine and chondroiton which takes up to a month.... I swear by this stuff!!! You can get it pretty cheap online at http://www.puritan.com/ Trust me and try the stuff... I would take it just like was mentioned above... twice a day..about 1500 mg at a time.... then after a week or so I would drop it downd to probably 1000mg a day.. Please let me know what you think of the stuff once ou try it...

I've been taking a generic supplement that has msm, glucosamine and chrondriotin(sp) in it for the last year and it has made a huge difference
