Re: PAIN!!!!

Does it hurt deep in the joint, or is it superficial? In other words, can you touch the sensitive spot?

If it's in the joint then it may be your arthritis, but if it's superficail it's probably the tendons. I'm not a fan of this but you can use knee and elbow wraps temporarily to reduce the pain if it's the tendons. However, anytime you support a joint externally you actually compromise the integrity of the joint and make it weaker. It's never a good idea to use wraps on joints continuously. If you just use them on your heavy set, that's one thing, but I personally don't like using them for every set. I have wrapped my knees for 6 weeks before on leg days to make the tendon pain go away until I could figure out what exercise was hurting them (heavy hack squats). Wraps help the joint to complete the exercise so they take pressure off of it. Using them on your max is not a problem because it becomes a safety issue, but using them on your sets of 10's just weakens the joint in the long run.

Re: PAIN!!!!

heat before lifting and ice after. I also use horse linament and it works great. If none of that helps, then you're just gonna have to stop being a pooceee

Re: PAIN!!!!

It's probably your athritis then, so basically, you are going to have to learn to deal with it. There really isn't much you can do for athritis if you lift heavy. Anything you try is only going to be a temporary fix. Unless, you have just screwed up your joints and you need them fixed. Is it both knees and both elbows? Usually if you have something that's bothering you it's one or the other but if it's all four of them then I'm going to assume it's the arthritis acting up.

Uh Oh. If Albert Einstein were alive, he might have some competition.

Rheumatoid arthitis affects joints. Elbows and knees are joints. You have soreness in these 2 areas. If I had my medical degree, I'd bet it was your arthritis. Especially since you already know you have it.

that's like saying "I have these little critters walking around my pubes, and I have no idea what they area? My doctor told me I have crabs. I'm thinking that might have something to do with them?"

No, you're right. And I have been seeking professional help on my anger issues. But it's one of those deals where a 16 year old kid comes up to you and says "I know nothing about cars. But I want to buy a 67 GTO with 400-4bbl-V8 ,Matching Turbo 400 Auto Trans , Reline Bias Ply Tires , 3:23 Posi
Hurst His/Hers Shifter ,Tilt Vacuum Gauge, Frame Off Rotisserie ,PHS Documentation, etc....."
And everyone says "NO! You'll kill yourself! You no nothing about that car! You have no business driving that car!" But the kid says "Phuque you, I'm buying it anyway." A week later, the kid says "I got a flat tire. What do I do?"
See where I'm coming from? Or are you all just like my shrink and call me crazy?

Re: PAIN!!!!

have you tried the magnets in the wrist band??

Ok.. don't laugh you F***ers... it did help alot with my elbow, takes about 3 days, but if you stop wearing it the pain returns after about a week..

it will not work for everyone, but for $54 (about) you could waste your money on more worthless things..

good luck
