TweetI would say that deca has more positives for the "older" crowd for the very reasons you stated. AS vicodin, or any pain killer would only "mask" pain, deca actually has the ability to improve pain as it takes down inflammation. I also belive that you can use low enough amount to help the pain and thus not give yout the "deca dick" affect. It is great to hear a positive story about this and I hope you continue to feel good. Maybe my joints might lika lil deca too?lol
