The fact that doctors can use a steroid (cortisone I think) injection to reduce inflammation in tendons brings up the question of if using injectable aas would help to cure tendonitis any faster than not using injectable aas? Any takers?? Thank you

Deca will ease joint pain.
I have used deca, npp, eq, huge doses of hgh and the only thing that cures tendonitis is time off/ All those compounds help but wont cure it IMO.
Out of curiosity what sort of dosage and for how long should you be running it?
My knowledge of deca is limited. Wasnt planning on jumping on it... just years ago I got tendonitis and was curious what sort of dose youd need and how long for.
If you were using it on its own, would you experience a gain in muscle growth? (sorry, have done no research on deca, just read posts about it).

Sorry if I gave the impression I was planning to start a cycle on deca alone, or even to use it. Its just a general question.
I totally agree. By taking aas you will probably only worsen the inflammation. The types of steroids your speaking of work in a totally different way than that of cortisone injections. And even if you do get cortisone injections they will only temporary relieve the pain. Where is your tendonitis?Quote:

HGH, Deca, EQ, Anavar and other compounds helps to increase collagen synthesis in the joints. Like cortisone, the 8 to 12 weeks of extra lubrication in the joint soft tissue could be enough to start the healing process. Test at 500mg tends to "dryout" the collagen in the joints. I'm on a HGH, Anavar, 200mg/wk Test cycle for 8 weeks. My goal is to get some relief in my knee and hip joints as well as get leaner. It's been a week and no significant improvement. I'm hoping I'll feel the benefits beginning in week 3 or week 4.
Im going to use deca soon in my next cycle because i also experienced tendonitis in my last test cycle. The inflammation got severe and i refused to take cortisone. I had to stop my cycle half way and refused to take cortisone injections. Im back in the gym and training hard and my elbows have recovered. I do take 6gs of fish oils a day and 3g of glucosamine and i think that helps alot i would give it a try if i were you.
deca will help with joint pain, not tendon pain. and in my experience, steroids will make your tendons worse. as a matter of fact, ive been out of the gym for over a week now, because i had bursitis so bad, i couldnt even move my right shoulder.
but every time i go on cycle, my elbow tendons become extremely painful. and when you start lifting more weight, as you become stronger on cycle, it only worsens it.
Lots of interesting responses here. Thanks. I'll talk to my Doc about cortisone and definately continue resting my shoulder.
My physiotherapist determined I have rotator tendonitis. anterior region of my left shoulder.
start taking some glucosamine and fish oils. have plenty of rest and make sure ur ask ur physio for some excersises you can do to help reduce the inflammation. It is also very important to do all ur stretches before lifting weights. this being said, do not start lifting until u r better! and if u do decide to use anabolics i would add some deca even a dose of 100mg/p.w would help alot...Someone mentioned that deca wll not help tendons, infact many members have had tendonitis and deca has improved the pain alot. Deca is not a easy compound to use as it has many unwanted side effects. Im planning on using it in my next cycle because of tendonitis but doing alot of research before i start.
Remember all steroids are not the same. Cortisone can/will cause more problems if it's used more than 3x I believe.
Whinny can dry out your tendons.
Deca eases joint pain in some people due to water retention
