OK guys...I'm sure you have all experienced joint pain and sore muscles during your weight training. I know many years ago (yes...I'm an old fart) when I trained competitively, I relied heavily on ibuprofen for a shoulder issue I was having. Speaking of ibuprofen...I found this interesting:https://www.goodrx.com/blog/nsaids-ibuprofen-bad-liver-kidneys/. Apparently ibuprofen (and other NSAID's) are not hard on the liver, but more of a kidney concern. I graduated from that to cortisone injections twice yearly, until finally I needed rotator cuff surgery. For delayed-onset muscle sorness (***S), I've tried everything from Ben-gay to icy hot, to BIOFREEZE. I know there are a ton of creams and gels marketed nowadays to ease sore muscles and aching joints. I'm really interested to hear what most of you are using to combat the pain. Are there really any OTC products that work effectively? And what about some of the more progressive thinking methods? Accupuncture andelectro stimulation come to mind. And what (if any), supplements have you used that help with pain management? Obviously there is a ton of info and touted
claims out there on the internet, but it would be nice to get some real world feedback!
Thanks,
GD
