Soft tissue will not repair unless it is inflamed. The problem you describe is much more likely to be from inflammation than from only tissue wear, which doesn't happen without major inflammation anyways.

I suggest you try harpagophytum procumbens extract. It's also called devil's claw root extract. Don't be fooled by the name, it is nothing toxic. As a matter of fact, it has a 10,000 year track record of alleviating joint pain. Planetary does carry it AFAIK and you can get the more potent liquid at herbals specialty shops.

True, inflammation is a necessary immune response in the healing of any acute wound. However, it becomes an inhibitory factor if an imbalance exists within that inflammation and it becomes chronic. At such point, controlling the inflammation to healthy levels is the necessary factor for healing.

I have had occasional pain in my elbows when exercising, I then started taking ISS Therajoint which contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin and some other goodies, together with Omega 3-6-9 oil caps. With these two products I personally have not had any joint problems and I believe helped me do my w/o's with more increased intensity and be more enjoyable.

For a while, maybe you can lighten up on the weight and remember to warm up the joints in addition to your muscles before working out because, the structure of a joint consists of ligaments surrounding two bony surfaces covered with cartilage and is lined by a synovial membrane filled with synovial fluid. This fluid provides a slippery surface between the cartilage acting like a lubricant, so the cartilage glides over smoothly on weight bearing joints.

So, warm up first in order to start producing the proper amount of synovial fluid to protect the joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin, assist in the manufacturing of cartilage and synoviol fluid. When age or tissue traumas occur the synoviol fluid becomes thinner and is less effective.

For those who may not know, Glucosamine is derived from shellfish and those individuals who may be sensitive or allergic to any form of shellfish should avoid products containing Glucosamine and should ask your MD for advice before taking these products.
