Done a couple of small cycles since first in 2006 and am looking at 3rd cycle this year.
Was looking for real world info regarding deca and joint pain - i know the geek stuff...just wondered if any long term trainers / older guys with pre-existing injuries had any benefit with Deca in a cycle?

Hi Gee, For the last couple of years I have had inpingment/arthritis problems in my right shoulder. I am currently on NHS wiating list for key hole surgery to clean out the joint. Bascially, I have had two cortisone injections in the joint. The first injection took away all pain in the joint for around three months. The second didnt work very well at all and if im honest, i dont think helped at all. Saying that, it was a different Dr who did the second injection and did not go very deep at all, whereas the Dr doing the first injection went very deep into the joint. Anyway, back on topic. After having both cortisones, I did a 10 week course of 500mg per week test enanthate and 400mg per week deca (organon brand). i would honestly say that with regards to pain relief, the aas course worked as well as the first cortison injection. it felt as if the injury had completely diapperared. however, once the course ended the pain sowly crept back and is back to normal again. I then ran another 10 week course of just test (500mg per week), and although this slighlty reduced pain in the joint, it was no where near as when i included the deca. i suspect that the relief was due to water retnetion and could maybe have been a little bit of placebo affect as well, as i had done alot of reading about deca causing joint relief prior to starting the course. hope this helps.
