I've been dieting for many months now. Any thoughts on how can i heal this fucking shit pain that i am having right now. Some said i should try glucosamine and says i should try deca to keep the pain away. Gurus???? any thoughts????
 
Try taking 5-6 tbsn flax oil each day. Calorie dense, but will relieve joint inflammation in elbows, knees and rotator cuff faster than anything else. But the best glucosamine capsule on the market is Beverly joint care. Joint Care contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM, as well as Vit C & E, manganese, boron, and evening primrose oil, which is now being praised as a wonder supp for sore joints. These come in big gel caps, and seem to work far better on rotator cuff and elbow soreness than any other glusamine supp I've tried. 3 capsules contain 1000mg Glucosamine sulfate.

I have found flax oil even more important than glucosamine for sore joints and tendons. Ever since Lakeville Thor convinced me to try 5 tbs per day, my elbows and rotator cuffs have been pain-free. Works like magic, and effects are noticeable soon after you start taking it. Plus, there are a multitude of nutritional benefits to be found in flax oil. I now take 4 Joint Care a day and 3-4 tbs flax as a maintenance dose.

Below is a post from Andrew Thorssen at BB.com. He is an abnormally strong young powerlifter and often rails against the norm...but he's usually right.

Look,

I am going to cut through the bullshit here. Literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT I HAVE TOLD TO TAKE FLAX OIL AT 5 TABLESPOONS DAILY HAS COMPLTELY GOTTEN RID OF THEIR JOINT PAIN (this is about 25 people)!!! In addition, to again reiterate my point, for the last week I intentionally did not take any flaxseed oil at my normal dose of 5-7 tablespoons daily. Guess what? I could hardly squat yesterday because my joints hurt so bad. I also lost 4 pounds. I bet within a week they will be feeling great again due to the lubricating oil.

Two of the success stories will follow:

My mother in law (well, basically) has fibromyalgia and diabetes. Her joint pain has gone down significantly since she started taking flaxseed oil (3 tablespoons for her).

Also, my buddy George who I lift with when I am in MN hasn't been able to squat for 5 years (he's 41) - he is 5'10'', 265. I would say he's around 13% bf - a freakshow no doubt. ANyway, since he started taking flaxseed oil at my doses, he is squating again.

Seriously people, I am not lying about this. Try it if you have joint pain.

Fish oil is much more expensive, but it is certainly the gold standard reducing joint inflammation by brute force of its EPA, and the only reason I don't use it on as regular basis is the cost factor. Your body can only convert a small amount of omega 6 from flax to the beneficial omega 3. Fish oil is omega 3 to begin with. One of the most reasonably priced brands is Spring Valley enteric coated from walmart, no aftertaste.

Hemp oil is also excellent. It contains all 3 omegas- 3,6,9, makeing it a complete fat. In addition hemp oil also contains smaller amounts of 3 other unsturated fats in GLA, oleic acid and stearidonic acid. This EFA combination is not only unique in the vegetable kingdom, but indispensable for cell growth, circulation, immune function, healthy skin, and the prevention of degenerative diseases. Continuous use of flax oil has caused concern about an imbalance of EFA in the body. Hemp oil can be used without worries.

Below is a quote from a chiropractor on Animal's Board.

flax seed oil has lignans.

lignans inhibit prostaglandin synthesis before the COX 2, LOX can create E2, thromboxane, and other meanies .

Lignans are a nice safe anti inflammatory.

Glucosamine sulfate like i stated elsewhere seems to work well for 60% of the users on a dose of 1500mg per day.

I dont encourage anyone to take less than this however, and sometimes more is better.

chondroitin is a chain of glucosamine molecules. MSM is essentially DMSO, manganese is critical for ligament and disc rebuilding. (i take 50mg every so often)

Ideally someone could whip out a batch of glucosamine sulftate/ pentosan injectable and you could simply inject it twice per month.

that would be wonderfull.

powerlifters of all people need to understand that your body is much like the front end of a car.

when the front end is misaligned the tires ( your joints) break down much faster than a normal.

flax oil or not, if you are misaligned the joint will destroy itself much faster. its mechanics.

Great post Benz.... So i think Fish oil is better that flax oil right? i can get shark oils here for free so i must try that shit out...
 
I love fish oil. Used a Nordic brand the past 4 months and have had barely any joint pain. At 50 years old, that's a blessing.
I like it because it also has lemon oil, so it counteracts the fish smell in a pleasant way.
 
Some people say that msm, glucosamine and chondroitine help but I tried good supplements and they didn't do anything for me. I've been told to run deca to lubricate the joints ;)
 
age is key...I have the same problem..I take a supp of chondroitin, msm and glucosamine....helps a bit, but I have to work around my problems....big key is warm ups...get your joints and specific areas warm before you lift heavy...
 
First thing you gotta do for the joints Fork is throw that damn winny in the trash! :p

My thoughts when I read it, haven't touched that chit in a few years and voila, no joint pains, well except with age of course.
Benz gave you solid advice on this bro...
