Dilemna - Looking for advice....

**BluEyedClubr** · 04-04-2006, 10:28 AM

So I swore off roids to myself after I got Tendonitis in my left shoulder last Aug... and I've had a cortisone shot in Dec... I lost a lot of muscle and my numbers dropped a lot in chest and shoulders... but everyone keeps telling me that a cylce of Decca will fix the tendonitis for good...

I've slowly been working myself back up but I know i'm not going to get up to the same numbers in weight as i once was... Being able to do 145 DB presses and now struggling with 100lb DB's does a lot to your ego

I'm 26.. going to be 27 this summer ... i've met the girl that i know i'm going to marry and she's fine with me doing roids or not doing roids (she has implants so she says she can't get mad at me for doing something to make my body better). I've told myself I wasn't going to do roids again because i've done 3 cycles over the last few years and I felt like it was time to end it so I don't totally kill my body... and it was time to kinda grow up and start thinking about having kids in a few years and all...

I haven't touched anything since Aug when I hurt my shoulder... and I've done high numbers of Test, Tren , Decca, etc in the past... but I'm debating a few things...

Would a Decca/Test cycle REALLY fix tendonitis? Once I come off cycle would my shoulder pains come back again? Is it just a temporary fix? I don't want to do a cylce and then have to get surgery in the fall and just loose everything i just spent time and $$ on...

I'd also like to know what numbers i could run and still get results... Like what's the LOWEST number that I could run when i'm 6'6 255lb... and still see the results for the shoulder...

ALSO - i was thinkin about just taking something like Superdrol - but aren't the sides just as bad as steroids ?

Thanks guys...

It wld be a temporary fix at best... and u cld in the long run wind up worse off post cycle.... I don't see it curing tendonitis, just alleviating the pain while on deca .... If u do do it make sure u stack it with test like u said...

yeah i know how it feels bro, ive had tendonitis in my right shoulder since june/july (about 10 months now) and had 2 cortisone shots, one today actually, the best thing would be to just stop working out totally to give it time to heal, and do rotator cuff excersises.

That's what I thought.... I thought I might just do more inury as the pain was hidden and i went back up to heavy weights again...

... i've just been told by a few people that it cured theirs - but they still juice too...

Guess now i can fit in those designer name brand clothes since im gonna shrink lol

WOW 2 cortizone shots? isnt that really bad? i read all over that you should ONLY do 1 if any because it eats away at nerves and ligements and shit

Do you still juice at all?

Are you considering surgery? My Dr told me they woulld just go in and scope the bone and clean out some of the scar tissue - my shoulder has a really big hook where the bone comes out and it constantly snags on the tendon and muscles

shit sorry for misleading you bro, just read my mri report again i didnt have tendonitis, just an inflammation on the long bicep tendon :S sorry. although i read on another thread that hgh could help to cure the ligaments etc etc but ur still to young for that.

yea i dont think deca will be the cure for the tendonitis.. and i feel ur pain bro.. i had biceps tendonitis in both shoulders! Its been over a year and at times i feel it coming back but then i think its all in my head.. i have been reading and speaking to many people and the hard part is not while you have a problem or injury but after its healed the process of telling your mind it is healed.. every little thing i do im always thinking about my shoulder.. it sucks.. the best thing to do it to rest and take time off.. it sucks to loose lbs and numbers in the gym but its better to rest now and then in a little come back and hit the gym.. keep youe head up bro and good luck

Why not have your Dr. prescribe Celebrex? helps me out!!!

could someone explain what tendonitis is?
i googled it and it says its an inflammation, i have an inflammation in the long bicep tendon (hurts in the front of my shoulder, feels like a needle or something). but on my mri report it says no tendonitis...

I think it is pretty much the same thing...

I usually pop 4 Motrin's before hitting the gym to keep it from gettin so inflamed...
