Advice on Joint Pain

I've had some minor injuries here and there and I've always had a bit of joint pain and I just suck it up and keep on training... but here lately the grind in the joints has become unbearable! And it's lasting on hours after training...and it's really affecting my training. Brian at 10th planet Springfield recommended I take zinc, magnesium, and fish oil every day and I am probably going to give that a try. But, I was curious as to what other ideas might have helped some... what ya got for me brothers?

if your having joint pain try a bong , pipe or vaporizer

hahaha nice... but I don't smoke brotha :)

then your joint shouldnt be in pain

Rub some dirt in it. But in all honesty I'm bad about nursing injuries. I just push through em. It may be your body saying to slow down and rest. How often are you training?

FISH OIL. It might be in my head, but I hardly walk without it.

physiotherapy.

i have been trying this too,

it seems to be working, but its very hard to tell cause i took a week off and started taking it at the same time, but so far during training my shoulder seems to be bothering me less. ill really know when im off of it, otherwise its placebo.

another one im going to try is super cissux rx, bodybuilders rave above it, just out of stock at the one store that carries it. worth trying out. google cissus if you want to read about the ancient indian plant. other than that i wouldnt bother with anything else, most of it doesnt work, especially glucosamine. good chance the former and glucosamine is mostly placebo too.

Rogan was talking about "shroom tech" on his podcast and said its amazing if you're really active. Never tried I but that's what he said.

I'm pretty much over the hill, my body is destroyed. But I refuse to give up. So I started on Celebrex. So far, it seems to allow me to move slightly more "pain free" so that I can roll. I'm hoping to be able to compete again soon. :)

See a Chiropractor to work on you.

i began a vegetarian diet (i'm trying to go vegan as much as i can) after thanksgiving and it has done wonders not only for my joints, but also for my overall energy levels and workout recovery.

if the pain is getting worse, you should prob ease off until you get it sorted, i'm sure there are plenty of solutions

If your joints are hurting then most likely they're not bearing weight the way they were designed to. Look into posture therapy. I read a book that changed my life called Pain Free by Pete Egoscue, cost me 9 bucks on amazon. I went from sitting in bed with knee braces on to training full time again and being able to use my treadmill. Woohoo!

+1, sort out your diet first, and YOGA. If all else fails, buying a vaporizer and an Indica strain or eating edibles will help you and doesn't count as smoking.

also forgot to mention, if you have really serious joint pain you could also get a prescription for some strong anti inflammatories like vultaren or celebrex. but they are pretty strong and hard on the stomach, would definitely seek other options.

That's funny

Glucosamine chondriotin. Osteo-biflex is a popular brand of GC. Also try flax seed oil also.

thanks everyone... and yes the pain has gotten to the point that I don't even want to walk. I try to fight through it but it feels like my joints are made of flint and everytime I move them I get an overwhelming burn feeling. I've gotten to the point that I can't hardly train at all

May be time for some rest man

I think we are over training our bodies. After you break them down your suppose to nourish the muscle with the proper nutrients and give it time to recover. My three hour dental surgery yesterday felt nice compared to the constant pain in my hip. I think we both need to take a day or two off each week and not train so we can just heal & recover. I'll happily push through pain to improve but at this point I think over training is doing more harm than good and a little rest would be best.

From what I've read, most jiujitsu related elbow injuries are due to a hyper extension of the elbow. At least that's what mine are from. The most extensive research on elbow hyper extension recovery and care is probably in the sport of tennis. I can't think of another sport that would have more experience and resources.

If I were you, I would begin researching tennis elbow.

You could try bone broth and egg shells.
