I would at least try to find any tight spots in the calves, thighs, and hips. Often joint pain is from a tight muscle near the joint.
Maybe try putting weight on a lacrosse ball in all different spots of the legs and see if you can find anything really painful. If you do, you know that will be a spot to work on.
I get sore elbows, but I think it has to do with tight shoulders causing mobility issues in the squat position. The elbows try to make up for the lack of mobility, but are not designed to move in more than one plane.
Also, 7 mm neoprene knee sleeves will add a ton of warmth to the joint. That might buy you more improvement than you think.
I would go pharma route last.

TB 500 isnāt going to do anything for you if you canāt see anything on an MRI. Just saying.
Based on everything Iāve read that youāve said, it sounds like a muscle issue. Muscular imbalances wonāt show up on imaging in the absence of substantial inflammation, but can absolutely cause significant pain. It sounds like physical therapy would be your best bet. Either find a better sports doc who understands this, or just go and find a physical therapist who wants to work with you.

Thanks for all the replies. I just picked up some Cissus, just for kicks. (anyone ever had good results from this stuff?)
For now, the turmeric is making it bearable.
I think for sure that I have some muscle imbalances now because of the lack of quad work. Now that im not in excruciating pain, I will probably give PT another go.
Give HGH a go. works miricles for my joints.
As far as gear, dbol and NPP make my joints feel good.
Might try HGH at some point. Is there anything specifically used to treat tendon/ligament issues?
Not specificly medically but like I said, NPP, dbol, deca def sooth the joints.

My secret? Raw milk. Quarter gallon a day. Do some research. It has something in it called Wulzen factor (Stigmasterol). It is in abundance in raw milk. So find a farmer who raises raw grass fed milk cattle and get some raw milk. Ironically Stigmasterol is the precursor to boledone (EQ). Interesting ehā¦?

Interesting! I pretty much grew up on milk but have since shunned all dairy due to my āeducationā on it. I do miss it however. Even though.I know all the horrors of its use, the scientific part of me wonāt let me drink it, but I do actually feel better when I run a test of including it in my diet.
If only my brain wasnāt always in the way.
Research the differences between raw and conventional milk. pasteurization Kills everything good about milk. With it raw you have enzymes present to digest and use the milk. It actually cures lactose intolerance.

Iām not lactose intolerant and I eat many dairy products but Iāve fully switched to almond milk for my day to day milk use simply due to the macros being hard to beat.
Thanksā¦Iāve seen all the research on that as well. I consider us no different than any other mammal, and none drink the milk of another species when in adulthood. Regardless, your points are valid.
I hear what youāre saying but with that line of thinking we are also the only species who butchers and cooks our food. Are you eating your meat and eggs raw? I see both sides for sure. For me raw milk was a game changer.

Gonna check into that. I have been hearing more and more about this topic lately.
We have a farmers market here Iām sure I can find it. I love milk, I have to hold myself back from drinking too much. Never tried raw milk though.

Itās illegal in most states. You need to buy a share of the cow typically which gives you access. Itās bomb. Haha.

Iām totally with you. I avoid everything that is unique to humans. I only eat raw meat and raw vegetables. I donāt walk on paved roads, the only light I use comes from the sun, I donāt own a computer of any kind, I donāt wear clothes, and I certainly donāt speak any human languages. I grunt and scream and make signals with my arms, mostly.
But yea. I hate the āonly humans do ___ā argument whenever itās used.
