Painful Elbows - Need Help

[tempbrit]

During the end of my last cycle which included GH, Test C, Tren A, Var and IGF.....I started having some pain in my elbows. I took a bit of Ibuprofen and worked through the pain until PCT.

Well that was several weeks ago and my elbows are not improving. I initially thought it was just a bit of tendonitus that I have suffered from occassionally over my lifting career.

It is kind of weird, some days it hurts worse than others. And definately hurts in both elbows almost equally.

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? I think I have tried Ibuprofen route with no success.

Please help. I can't lift and am going crazy.

Post this in the injury/rehab forum. Doc Sust will help you out.

Directly in the elbow, above the joint or below?

i heard hgh can cause joint aches, but i would take glucosimine(sp) & go see a doctor if it persists

You have the main elbow bone (some people call the funny bone that sticks out) then there is this bone just to the outside of that bone (if your palms are facing down then this bone kind of sticks out away from your body, but above the funny bone.

This is where it hurts. It also hurts when I do Lateral shoulder raises or any arm movement that is not directly up and down. the pain radiates through my forearms and sometimes the tops of my forearms ache.

It is weird.

Sounds like tendonitis, specifically lateral epicondylitis(tennis elbow). Hurts like a biatch during hammer curls, and lateral raises? I just went through the same , from about sept 05 til dec or so. Finally bought a elbow wrap and it helps, but sometimes if I really work it it comes back on me. You can try Ibuprofen therapy for a few weeks, but you really should take some time off of working out while you try this. Also, if you do go see a doc, don't go see just any old gen practitioner-they know shit IMO. Go see a sports injury specialist, they are going to have the best advice.

Thanks for the comments. I have laid off for almost 4 weeks now and some days it hurts worse than others. I am going to start some more Ibuprofen in a couple of days.

I have heard it takes 6 to 8 weeks to recover. However, I am not sure that mine will be better in that time window. This really sucks.

It is a killer for lateral raises, for hanging crunchs (abs), and on wide grip pullups.

I got the same problem. It comes and goes. The only time I am happy is when I am on Decca :-) Dont bother with pain meds as I hate that shit, just ice it before and after workouts and see how you go.
