Deca for therapeutic reasons.

[Bouncer]

So a friend of mine, pro fitness athlete was just given some bad news. Doc told her to stop competing because she has some pretty damaged joints and arthritis is a definite to come. She is only 24. Been doing gymnastics her whole life etc.. As you can imagine she is pretty depressed about it.

She asked me about deca and its ability to lube joints etc..

Really what I am looking for is, what is the best dose for a girl just looking for joint health. She doesn't care about building more muscle etc..

[CrankinSteiN]

I would say she should start low if thats all she is looking for and maybe start with 50mg a week and see if she gets the effect she is looking for. Keep in mind it will take 3 weeks to start working fully unless she front loads or takes nan phenyl...

Ya I would say 50mgs also but it will take more like 5-6 weeks to notice with that low of a dose.

B, when you say joints you mean the joint not the ligs or tendos right?

[redsquirrel]

I would agree with the 50 mgs. But, is she going to take in hopes it will repair these tendons? I would go with an 8 week cycle, and peak at 50 mgs...starting at like 25, and increasing from there.

she had a torn shoulder labrum. went into get it fixed and the doc saw all kinds of mess. she has a crack in her humerus bone and a lot of wear and tear that he said will definitely turn into arthritis. said it was really torn up in there and she is only 24.

not so sure she can repair them at this point, more along the lines of lubing them up as much as possible to prevent more damage.

i was thinking GH also since it makes the body produce more synoval fluid etc..

That was the point to my orignal question. I would try some deca and GH. But only surgery can help arthritis And that isnt a forsure thing. I would try the deca first and if that dont work try the gh. I would also give the deca more than 8 weeks to work try 12 to let it fully build up to strength. My guess is neither work but I would try anyways

[CrankinSteiN]

Definitely GH is worth a try and I agree she will need to run the deca around 12 weeks. When I said 3 weeks for effects I ment minimum for it to build up to full strength in her body.

again, its not really about curing anything. its about adding in a safe guard to try and prevent further damage.

gh at 2 ius and i would go 100 mgs of deca for the absolute joint benefits -

adaquen is a viable option aswell - did wonders for my joints as it builds up synovial fluid

[redsquirrel]

EEK! 100mgs of deca? I agree to use it in conjunction w/ GH, but for a female, 100mgs of deca seems like a lot- especially since she isn't using it for any mass gains.

[ROCKETW19]

Ya 100 seems a bit much. I have seen many girls do fine on 1ius also. I personaly would stick to the lower side to see what happens. You can always go higher later if it seems to help.
I have also heard of that adaquen but I have never used it and I know of no one that has either so I cant realy say but if the first 2 Gh and deca dont work give it a try.

For a female I may tend to try HGH 1st to see how she does.

yes it would seem like alot at 100mgs but for a pro fitness girl i disagree . her body will utilize that with no problem

I forgot all about Adaquen (sp?)... It was all the rave for helping with joint problems years ago before I left the boards.... Not sure about developments with it recently but if it is as good as I remember people saying then she should definitely look into it
