Supplement for shoulder joint pain

So, i was on a cycle and getting really good gains, decided to increase the weight a bit on flat and incline dumbell press. Flat was no problem, i went from 10 reps of 90 lb dumbells to eventually hitting 120 for 10 reps. For my incline press, i went from 70's to 90's pretty quickly and I had the strength but when i put them down, OUCH. My left shoulder has been shit ever since. Went to the sports doc cuz i was SURE it was a rotator cuff but it wasn't. He said i have all my strength but its this little tiny join or tendon in the top/ front of the shoulder. He suggested some anti inflammatory drugs and they kinda sorta help, not so much. I wish i could remember what he called the condition but i know now its just joint pain from a tendon HE SAID i didn't even need. He said my options are injections of cortisol or whatever or removal of the tendon. So, i know its not serious, he told me this. He specializes in shoulder repair surgery. I have read and read on great supplements for join pain that can actually help. I have in my list cissus, orange triad and collagen. Can someone with a similar experience recommend anything that have helped them. good brands, etc... Oh one more thing, my tren cycle seemed to really diminish the pain but as soon as i was done, BAM!!! Cant bench, i have always ONLY used dumbells btw. I cant shoulder press unless super light weight on a machine. And sometimes my last few reps doing preachers, etc upset the shoulder. SO the only way i can work my chest now is with cable and db flies. even pushups sometimes hurt. Any help is appreciated!!!!!
 
oh ya, i do a few stretches before ANY workout now and just to give yall an idea, i can really feel the pain when i put on a jacket or if i place my left hand on the small of my back and push away from my back. palm facing outwards. or really, just moving my left arm behind me as far back as i can and rolling my shoulder forward.
 
Ya I take fish oil everyday just for overall health. It doesn't seem to help, whether I take omega red or cheap generic brands. I'll look into a higher dose though. Thx for the input.
 
BTW I even tried deca in hopes it would help, may have helped like 20%...
I hear ya brother. I am thinking about surgery myself but damnit!!! I just got all my bills paid and really don't want another 3,000 bill for my deductible. It's really weird tho, about 5 weeks into my tren ace cycle, it felt great so I tried dumbbell presses again and didn't feel anything until I grabbed the 90's. had all the strength to put em up no problem but felt that sharp pain and stopped. However... I did some homework and stumbled on to some good shit. Well it looks and sounds promising anyway. Animal flex, primaforce cissus and doctors best collagen type 1 and 3. Stay tuned to this thread and I'll post some updates buddy. Good luck and u Betta let me know if u find something that helps. Later brotha
 
Btw I'm doing some research in the underground thread for another source. I love Darius and pcom but damn it's so expensive. If u have a good source pm me.
 
Here's my shoulder stack. I'm taking 2000 mg of generic fish oil. One packet of animal flex, one scoop of collagen type 1 and 3 and 2 primaforce cissus capsules. Got it all from amazon for about 160, but I bought a big bag of bsn protein powder too. I'll keep u posted on the results . Just started today and holy shit, it's a lot of pills lol.

I would be interested in this also. I'm going through similar pain but my right shoulder. I was just moving along nice at the gym feeling good. I was really trying to build my traps up with certain workouts and would finish every day with smith machine and seated dumb bell shrugs.

Then woke up the next morning one day and had the worst pain on the right side of my neck down into my trap then into my collar bone close to my neck for about a week is was unbearable and I got zero sleep.Here I am 6 weeks later and neck pain is almost gone but I can't push shit with my right side and hurts to raise my arm above my shoulder. And I can't sleep on my right side at all..

Anyway sorry for jacking your thread and being long winded. Let us know what happens. Thanks

Lol dude no hijacking was done here. I wanna help anyone I can. This is the beauty of meso. Contributions to this the community. I will keep this thread updated weekly. It's day two and I can't feel any pain as of right now but I'm sure once I hit the gym, I will feel it. I'm hoping to see some positive results within a couple of weeks.so far my shoulder feels fucking great but it's wayyyyy to early to say it's better. I'll let u know buddy and hopefully we can get this licked. Howeva... u probably already know but I can't stress it enough and will say it anyway... DO NOT work through the pain. If u have insurance, see a doc. Sports doc if possible. There's good pain and bad pain. If u are getting bad pain lifting, lower the weight or stop doing that exercise. If doc says ur ok, awesome. Rest the shoulder and watch for updates on this thread. GOod luck brotha.

Looks good but it takes months for natural supps to really take effect, if at all. Keep at it. I also feel that daily ginger and turmeric help me. They are natural anti inflammatories.

What doses are you running the ginger and turmeric at Scabby Jr?
 
It's been one month so far. I've probably missed a few days but other than that have been pretty diligent with t. My shoulder has been feeling better. The other day I tried decline bench with dbells and worked my way up to 70 lb dumbbells pain free. I'm keeping my arms at 45 degrees tho and not 90 so cheating a little bit. I'm gonna try to do some dips which usually hurt on chest day. But so far so good. It could be the supps or could be me not doing stupid shit while recovering. Time will tell and I'll keep u posted. Oh and I've been taking that collagen supplement with my protein shake but read that u need to take it 30 min before eating any other protein cuz it may not get absorbed. Idk... guess I'll take it with juice or something but it clumps up bad and I can't do anything to mix it up. And it's fucking nasty bro. Anyway, so far so good
 
You're welcome, it works wonders and has lasting results so it isn't just while you're on it. Although it does take using it for a prolonged period to get the results.
 
I've heard Joe Rogan talk about stem cell and platelet injections that he claims insane results. I think it's in the couple thousand dollar range.

Ya I listen to his podcast too. Where they draw blood, spin it in a centrifuge and seperate the white stuff that has amazing anti inflammatory properties.

It's been a while, but I believe it was him and Dan Bilzerian, talking about getting this done in Tijuana? they both raved about it, pretty interesting stuff.
