    joint pains

    Hi, Im 19 years old I have put on 25lbs in a month (no roids). I was 175lbs and now I am 200lbs. My upper body joints have all gotten pretty sore. I was wondering if you think this is from gaining to much weight to fast? My strength has also gone way up. So is this a factor also? and is their anything to eat besides bannanas to help my joint? Thanks alot

    Im only 19 so I want to stay away from the juice for awhile. I got enough natural test flowing threw me. I was wondering if there was anything over the counter I could get or if I should go see a doctor.

    try some glucosamine(sp?) My buddies take it and says it take the pain away from his sore joints. You can get it at any health food store.

    There are a couple otc products out there for joint pain but ive never used any so i couldnt recommend one. Definately sounds like something caused by that extra weight tho. Id cut the weight your pushin back and focus more on slow movements and form. Make sure your core exercises are the heart of your w/os and your joints and tendons will catch up with the rest of you. By the way your patience with the whole juicing idea shows a lot of maturity. Best of luck

    I had some pains in the joints too. I started taking MSM (methylsulfonyl-methane) that helped a lot. You can get it at GNC. Glucosamine helps like testsubject said. You can get MSM + glucosamine.

    I've gained about 50lbs of muscle in the last 3 months, and I've experienced the same thing. I think it is due to the shock to your body of the increased weight. I also realized that after my weight gain I have become really tight. I started stretching more and that seemed to help a lot. you should spend like at least 15 minutes stretching before and after you lift.

    I get that alot in my shoulders and knees, it seems that rubbing some mineral ice on the site and taking a few alive's kills the pain pretty well, also the Glucosamine may help some...
