Saw the ortho doc today. First thing he noticed was I can't completely straighten out either arm.... a sign of advanced arthritis. He just wants to start with basic NSAID's, he knows I've taking Motrin, and a set of current xrays. That does make sense to me since I have not had a xray for over 3 years, and that one showed some arthritis.

I may be fucked. He did say to go ahead and keep working out for now, just cut out the 'power stuff'. Not sure what that exactly means .

Time for 8-12 reps - which isn't too bad

No shit TT . My initial xrays, the report from the lab, mentions "degenerative arthritis" at least 4 times, plus bone spurs. I see the doc next Wednesday.... I'm crossing my fingers.

JerseyDevil

I appreciate that B .

katt

Dang Jersey!! I really hope they are mistaken and everything will come out ok!!

If not,,,, well then,, just go full throttle and beat the system... prove them wrong!

Triple Threat

Does arthritis show up on an x-ray or is it a condition that the doctor can detect by examining you? Today is next Wednesday, so good luck with that visit.

yellowmoomba

Let us know ....

Thanks for checking up everyone.

Had the visit, and basically comes down to what I thought. Osteoarthritis of both elbows. I either have to manage the pain by limiting the exercises that cause it and using NSAIDS, or have surgery to remove the bone spurs. He said my elbows are NOT in bad shape, and I still have good overall range of motion. He felt cortisone injections would be a waste of time and the pain would return in a few weeks.

Problem with surgery, is that there is a somewhat long recovery, and since I do have arthrithis, it will eventually come back. He said if it were him, he would give up weight training, because the stress on the joint using heavy weight is prematurely accelerating the joint damage.

He wasn't an ass about it at all, and totally understands my desire to continue training. He did recommend some elbow specialists and said they may not agree, and might want to try cortisone. I think they will have the same accessment.

I have backed off of heavy training. The heaviest I've gone on bench lately was 205 x 12, and been doing more 12-15 rep DB work. This does seem to help. I have come to realize that the movements that wreak the most havoc is bench press, incline bench press, pull ups, and any tricep extensions. I love to bench, but I think the time has come to go with higher rep DB's and HS machines and more of a BB style workout.

That may be best JD. There is always that off chance you could find legit GH and IGF and use that to help heal it, this is all hypothetical of course.

It could be worse. Using medium weight can still be challenging especially if you go REAL slow.

Good to hear you are still in the game

Still around. Where do I begin? I posted several workouts, but they were lost during the 'hack'.

I have been going lighter, focusing on higher rep wo's, and that seems to be great for my elbows.

Been a painful week. My Mom, who lives in Bradenton, FL had been complaining of shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue. She started having these symptoms about 3 weeks ago. They did a CT scan, found a mass and told her to go the hospital for a biopsy. She died last Saturday evening before we ever got that result. I spent about 6 hours with her before she passed, thank God, but I don't think she knew I was there. Turned out she died of small cell lung cancer, which is the deadliest, most aggressive form of the disease. Needless to say I am devastated.

I have been going to the gym, but just going thru the motions. I miss my Mom so much.

my prayers go out to you and your family JD---not much else to say....keep your head up, she is in a better place now.....
