Off Deca & Onto Nerve Damage

[Yano]

well, if it fixed the grinding sensation then it must have also reduced feelings of pain/inflammation too right?

Yeah but its a side effect if you will not from a direct action of the drug so to speak , deca doesnt reduce pain or inflammation but it creates fluid to cushion the joint.

and what creates the synovial fluid/cushion that you mention?

I think you see where I'm going with this.

This is why I said it indirectly masks pain/inflammation. Without the Deca there's no increase in synovial fluid, the joint space will remain narrowed, and without the increase in synovial fluid to increase joint space you will still get the grinding/pain/inflammation (if you have it already that is).

Deca reduces pain/inflammation by creating more space in a narrowed joint by increasing synovial fluid to some degree. It's indirect, but nandrolone is still the trigger for the cascading effects that follows.

with this said, nandrolone doesn't help everyone in this way. So people should not look to use it specifically for this purpose IMO.

Xray only not MRI. Doctor put it on my record as suspected radiculopathy, presenting radial nerve pain originating from upper right scapular.

(It was so intense a week ago that I took a trip to the ER. PT has helped so far and cutting down weight load on average 15-20% has helped as well, even have less numbness/tingling in right index/middle finger.)

What's annoying me most is the right side so much weaker now than before. Its significant. No longer bust out 185lb bench reps like nothing. Even 135lb, it's like my right pec is switched off.

Not much help with x-ray. Most likely a nerve. Sorry.

Take it easy. It may resolve itself.

it can add add synovial fluid to the joint, creating more space in that joint and relieving pressure.

So while it's not an analgesic, it can still indirectly mask existing issues... especially if it's from a narrowed joint space

I've seen some research on that and it does imply what you're saying. I still haven't bought in but that's me. But you do have a point.

 

[snake]

right on

Thats one of the reason i love it , my knees and shoulders dont feel like they grind on themselves so much. Its not fixing anything or masking pain , it just puts fluid in there so you get some of the cushion back and lubrication ,, giggity

He stopped by the other day for a visit next time he stops over i'll tell him you said hi.

petit mal this time with disassociation , dizzy as fuck , ol lady found me wandering outside in my shorts .. good shit.

At least they didn't find me down the road this time.

One day you bastards will be rid of me but it's not going to be any time soon , I got shit to do WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I don't know how they could diagnose this using only x ray. Soft tissue will not show up on X-ray results. You'd need a CAT scan or MRI to be a le to see that.

I had a similar issue, I had impingement a long my radial nerve but it originated due to "frozen shoulder". Continue to work with your doctor, but I suspect what you actually are feeling is a referred pain/distress.... and that the problem actually is somewhere else.

Deca doesn't cause neuropathy. So it's more than likely what you are experiencing an injury that was being masked by the Deca. The injury is what needs to be identified and fixed.

This. Nerve damage can't be diagnosed by xray.

Yeh, my PCP yesterday told me I should do the shock, pulse thing test if gets worse to better diagnose & MRI

Hey, so just an update, my thoracic radiculopathy flared up again. As an experiment to see if would help, started NPP at 90mg per week. It has def helped w the nerve pain. I can sleep and work out again, but taking it easy. Why don't more people get prescribed this instead of opioids?

Did the doctor try prednisone or anything? A dexamethasone epidural is what finally cleared the pain from my cervical radiculopathy after three months. I'm weak as hell now but back in the gym at least.

Sad but it's a true story. You may not realize how true it is until your parents get old, and you think to yourself that someday this will happen to me. We all have a best used before this date

He did suggest a shot could help if it gets bad but I don't remember the details. Thanks for the info on what worked for you--I might ask about that now!
