Deca and Joint Pain Relief

**BigJames** · 06-02-2005, 03:12 PM

I have read on this forum that Deca can help to heel joints / joint pain. how much would you have to take and for how many weeks to experience some of this effect? I know that it would be taken with Test and all that, I am just curious about what kind of cycle you would have to build to experience maximum joint pain relief / heeling / repair?

I add 50mg a week to a cycle and it makes all the difference. I don't know if more is better however.

Just 50mg/week! That is excellent...might even try 100mg. I am planning a 13 week Test E / EQ cycle and I just might add a little deca to help with my elbow pain.

100mg/wk is sufficient. A Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement may also be benificial.

Omega-3's are also a good weapon to combat joint issues.

I would go 100mg, bump up 50 mg if needed...

I will add some omega 3s to my diet today. I have been on Glucosamine and Condroitin with MSM for a couple of weeks without any change.

I have recently been found to have low test levels, the reason for this is unknown at this time, can low test levels negatively effect joint health?

To be honest, I really cannot answer that question. I am now curious to know if low tesosterone levels do influence joint problems.

At a guess, I'd say, no, testosterone levels don't influence joint issues....

Think its a question for 'Hooker', PM him, he may be able to help.

I think I will....thanks.

Deca does wonders for the joints, can't wait until next cycle

EQ - 400mg weekly has worked for me every cycle, takes all pain away. After the cycle I am screwed again but while on EQ I don't even think of my screwed up shoulder-no pain at all!

That is interesting info. I had read previously that EQ actually made the joints hurt. I have read that the pain relieving / heeling effects of Deca actually stay with you after the cycle...any comment on this?
