Deca or Equipose?

Will Deca or Eq help with elbow tendonitis? I've taken glucosamine, ibuprofin and fish oil.Ice it regularly- taken time off, but it still lingers?

how many times a day are you taking glucosamine and fish oil?

 

[longworthb]

Low dose deca is always good to me. My shoulder is pretty shitty but on deca I hardly feel it

i might have to try that. i take glucosamine 4x daily and fish oil 2x and its pretty good but once im on incline my left shoulder kills and wants to give out on me.

 

[longworthb]

Yup i got the same problem. I'm thinking it was from poor form when I first started lifting heavy. If my water intake is low it's definitely worse also

both will help to some degree

EQ will help but make sure you stay hydrated.... EQ will help build back up those bad tendons and is also known to help with faster recoveries such as yours. Of course we all know that EQ is an animal steroid. I've used it when I tore my suprasponatis tendon in my shoulder. To this day nothing else helped but that. Of course everyone body is unique and responds differently to different drugs. My buddy cant take EQ because it makes him sick...

Deca with increase collangen synthesis almost as much as eq (which really doesnt mean that much - but thats another story) BUT its a progestin. Progesterone is a powerful anti inflammatory. Thats why deca helps joints feel better - not because of water retention or collagen sysnthesis. Nandi wrote a great piece on it years ago.
Anyway - Deca ..thats the way to go imo .....

it helps to an extent. My left elbow is so inflamed that not even deca makes it feel better. I have to keep it wrapped and suck down Motrin to get through and push workouts.

i like taking my naproxen for it..... i know i know same thing, but i think naproxen is cooler cause i got it from a doctor.

btw going back to the thread having tried deca, but eq did nothing for my pain.

it sounds to me what you are discribing is tennis elbow.
I have had a hell of a time with that. I found a few things that help. One fella suggested to me I take a golf ball and rub it(roll it) as hard as I can all over the inflamed area. It does hurt some but overall helps quite a lot. I do this daily, some evening when I am watching TV. Also I ice it frequently.
I have found that I cant do certain things without pain like BB heavy curls. So...I use E=z curl bar or DBL's.

As far as the deca VS EQ my choice would be the deca. I am taking 150mgs wkly in this cycle for exactly that, joint comfort and it seems to be helping.
The other thing with EQ is it's so slow acting(even slower than deca) so to be effective most people use it for 16-20 wks which is a cycle length that I personally dont do.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!I guess there is no easy cure for tendonitis.We'll all just have to figure out which lifts or grips work best to get through our workouts.

 

[kdenes]

Thanks ! I'm gonna give that a try

 

[h3o]

try using spider tech, its just tape, i have no idea how it works. But the pain is significantly reduced when i put it on for tricep days.

Ok, if you are taking glucosamine and/or chondroiton with the fish oil, you more than likely aren't absorbing the fish oil anyway... Knox gelatin for nails works VERY well for helping repair tendons, ligaments, joints that have been abused... ALL of the EFA's will help you! You pretty much can't get too much essential fatty acids!! I would add flax and borage oil to the fish oil intake as well...

Now, as far as your question regarding deca or EQ.... you can actually use both without any additional side effects... they will both help in their own ways(though I would recommend NPP, rather than deca, to get it into your system more quickly... you can use deca and npp to kick it in quickly and keep it running for the long term)
I would also recommend boldenone cypionate over EQ(boldenone undecyclenate) for the same reason I suggested NPP, but also, it is just more boldenone per unit weight(the ester is FAR smaller!!) and it will give you far more results a lot more quickly!(PM me for source if you want)
The nandrolone(npp and deca) will help with regeneration of tendonous matter(ligaments, tendons, and joint, in general), It's highly advised by many for these properties, and works VERY well at it!!!

boldenone increases the rate of recovery of ALL tissues DRAMATICALLY, so it will help as well.. It increases RBC count and hematocrit GREATLY, which REALLY helps speed the rate of recovery of tissues and get more nutrients and oxygen to the areas of the body that need it.(bold cyp works 4x better than bold undecyclenate!)

To ease the pain of the tendonitis(I have had it several times throughout my life, in both arms... had cortisone injections(numerous) and all that...) you can get a wrap for your forearm. This works VERY well, and also helps the tendonitis heal!!! You can find these wraps at any pharmacy(ask the pharmacist)... where you place it is key! Even though the pain is in the elbow, you want the keep the wrap on the forearm, close to the elbow joint, but do not go past the elbow(higher), wrap it so that the top of the wrap is right at the bottom of the elbow protrusion on the back of your arm, so it is covering only the bottom half of the elbow... DO NOT COVER THE ENTIRE ELBOW, THIS WILL MAKE IT WORSE!

If you use the wrap, take the supps, and use the proper aas, you can alleviate the tendonitis within a month's time, usually(without cortisone injections)... If it is VERY sever, sometimes the cortisone injections will help, just don't let your dr keep giving them to you(after 3 of them you are getting to the point that you are breaking down tissue in that joint, rather than healing it... the cortisone is to alleviate the swelling in the joint, around the tendon... it doesn't 'heal' anything)

Those who use EQ for joint pain, what dosage are you running?

 

[overburdened]

If you aren't running 600+mg of EQ, you won't see much, even in the way of joint recovery...

Deca has always been better for my joints and tendons, typically at 300mg per week I start to feel relief.
