    Arthritus type pain in knees

    Stats: 6'3", 225lbs, 46 yo
    1 Cycle...Test E./ Eq. Excellent results

    My problem is that my cycle stopped last Oct., I believe I have a tear in my right knee, it's been scoped 4 years ago

    I started to take it easy on my leg workouts, eventually stopping them.

    Both my knees seem shot....I have a hard time walking up stairs, my knees feel like I'm 70 years old....like I have arthritis

    I'm on week 2 of Test Prop..100 mg ED/ Deca ...200mg EOD


    Still haven't worked my legs and getting really bummed out...my upper joints have no signs of nay problems.
    I'm thinking of just start hitting the legs...slowly and try to work up.

    Any thoughts on WTF is wrong?

    That's where it feels like it is, could a cycle have done this? Are you working your legs out...ie. squats?

    make sure u have knee straps for support. it will aid your squat/leg press performance IMO.

    You need to find a switched on Physio and a sports orientated Doc to fix you up .
    Not working out your legs is only going to make things worse I promise you that . Now you might be restricted and not able to perform all exercise in the book but I assure you there is alot you can do .
    Injuries can cause muscle imbalances , scare tissue and a whole gambit of other goodies that will make your knees worse with time . So not exercising them should not be an option and remember injuries have a domino affect meaning you might begin to suffer other problems through out your body steming from your toasted knees .
    PM me if you need any help or have any questions .

    Thats absolutly right! When you have an unjury you shouldnt leave that part out of your workout cause it will make it weaker and the injury will become worse, but that doesnt mean you should work out on an injured knee either! You should see a doc or physio who is good with knees to see what the problem is and then after they fix it there are many exercises you can start with to strengthen the muscles without even bending your knee, its a start until you are cleared to go back to training fully.
